You may be sent for an EMG test if you are experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. The test may take from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on what your doctor has ordered.
An electromyogram (EMG) measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals.Nerves control the muscles in the body with electrical signals called impulses.n EMG is done to: 1  Find diseases that damage muscle tissue, nerves, or the junctions between nerve and muscle. 2  Find the cause of weakness, paralysis, or muscle twitching.
