Overview
Other diagnostic studies for back pain include electromyography, nerve conduction studies, somatosensory evoked potentials, and/or diagnostics injections.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Electromyography detects muscular electrical activity.[1]
- Nerve conduction studies (NCS) is used to detect nerve conduction. Any slowdown noticed could indicate nerve dysfunction.[2]
- Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) may be ordered of spinal cord dysfunction is suspected.[3]
- Diagnostics injections are used to identify the source of pain. This process uses an anesthetic agent, complete pain relief after the injection identifies the source of the pain and partial pain relief means an additional source is causing the pain.[4]
