Specific Examples of Electrodiagnostic Testing Changing your Management

We often get consults for NCS/EMG regarding patients with pain. I like doing the studies, but I often wonder whether the EDx testing really changes anything for anyone. Sure, confirming a radic may push you to do that LESI, and maybe give a better sense of the level, but many would go ahead and try the LESI even without the EDx. So I wanted to ask this audience for some actual case examples of when and why you ordered EDx and how it specifically changed your management.
