Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalography (EEG), and Neurophysiology in Clinical Practice – MayoClinic (CME Videos + Slides + Quiz)

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Develop a logical approach to the use of standard clinical electrophysiological techniques in the evaluation of common and uncommon neuromuscular disorders.
• Identify technical pitfalls associated with NCS and needle EMG and understand methods to correct and minimize technical problems.
• Interpret the findings and clinical significance of abnormalities on nerve conduction studies.
• Recognize and interpret the significance of various EMG waveforms on needle EMG.
• Describe the utility and technical aspects of different nerve conduction studies and muscles to be examined during an electrodiagnostic study.
• Identify the normal and variant EEG patterns of adult and pediatric patients
• Recognize technical pitfalls and artifacts associated with EEG studies
• Interpret the findings and clinical significance of abnormalities on inpatient and outpatient EEG studies.
• Integrate the various clinical neurophysiology studies (evoked potentials, sleep studies) in the evaluation of patients with disorders of the central nervous system.
