EMG Test in New Delhi
Electromyography evaluates nerve and muscle function — essential for neuropathy and radiculopathy diagnosis.
What we offer
- Assesses nerve and muscle electrical function
- Diagnoses peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy and myopathy

- Guides treatment and monitors disease progression
- Performed with nerve conduction studies for complete picture
EMG (electromyography) measures how well your muscles respond to nerve signals. Fine needle electrodes record activity at rest and during contraction. EMG is almost always combined with nerve conduction studies (NCS) to give a complete picture of peripheral nerve and muscle health.
Common reasons for referral include numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, burning pain, weakness, muscle wasting, and suspected nerve compression at the wrist or elbow. EMG helps distinguish neuropathy from a pinched nerve in the spine, and myopathy from nerve disease.
The test involves brief discomfort from needle insertion — similar to an acupuncture sensation — but is well tolerated by most patients. Results are available immediately in many cases, allowing your neurologist to discuss findings and next steps at the same visit.
At MGS Hospital & Shree Aggarsain International Hospital, Dr. Sudheer Pandey correlates EMG findings with your symptoms and examination, ensuring you receive a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment — whether that is medication for neuropathy, physiotherapy, or referral for surgical decompression when appropriate.
