Electrodiagnostic Assessment of Hyperexcitable Nerve Disorders
Peripheral nerve hyperexcitability (PNH) typically presents with complaints of muscle twitching, cramps, and muscle stiffness. Symptoms and signs indicating central and/or autonomic nervous system dysfunction also may be reported. An electroclinical spectrum exists, spanning from the milder cramp-fasciculation syndrome to more severe syndromes characterized by continuous muscle fiber activity. It is important to recognize that PNH may be an autoimmune phenomenon associated with antibodies targeting proteins of the voltage-gated potassium channel –complex and, in some patients, a paraneoplastic phenomenon. Symptomatic the...

Electrodiagnostic Assessment of Radiculopathies
This article discusses the electrodiagnostic assessment of radiculopathy. Relevant anatomy initially is reviewed followed by discussion surrounding the approach to nerve conduction studies and needle electrode examination when it comes to radiculopathy evaluation. Pitfalls of the electrodiagnosis versus clinical diagnosis of radiculopathy and the definitions of acute versus chronic, and active versus inactive, are reviewed. (Source: Neurologic Clinics)

Nerve Conduction Studies
Nerve conduction studies are a key component of the electrophysiologic evaluation of the peripheral nerve system, and provide important information about the integrity of the large, myelinated axons, neuromuscular junctions, and muscle. Nerve conduction studies involve eliciting nerve action potentials at sites along a peripheral nerve and recording the response from another site along the nerve or from a muscle innervated by that nerve. Attention to details of test performance, use of well-established normative values, and knowledge of the patterns of abnormality produced by disorders that affect neuronal, axonal, and mye...

Electrodiagnostic Assessment of Neuromuscular Junction Disorders
This article reviews advanced electrodiagnostic techniques used to assess for neuromuscular junction disorders, including repetitive nerve stimulation, conventional or concentric-needle single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG), and stimulated SFEMG. These techniques have high sensitivity but limited specificity. Novel methods currently under investigation are discussed, including vestibular ocular myogenic potential and oculography analysis.
