how long does an emg take to do
The same nerves on the other side of the body may be studied. The results from both sides of the body can be compared. When the test is done, the electrodes are removed. Nerve conduction studies are done before an EMG if both tests are being done. Nerve conduction tests may take from 15 minutes to 1 hour or more. How long the tests take depends on how many nerves and muscles are studied.
