- Time
- South Tees NHS describes combined EMG testing appointments of 30–60 minutes.
- Appointments
- 1 test attendance + results review
Nerve conduction studies
Measurement of peripheral nerve signalling.
- Time
- Appointment length depends on the nerves tested and whether needle EMG is added.

Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- Which symptom history, imaging or previous specialist reports would help the team assess the case?
- Will assessment involve several disciplines or repeated tests, and is inpatient monitoring required?
- How will mobility, communication, medication, rehabilitation and support at home be addressed?
