EMG/NCS
When your muscles are sore or weak and you don’t know why, there are a couple of tests that can help give you answers. One is Electromyography (EMG). The other is a Nerve Conduction Study (NCS). They are often done at the same time. Your doctor can use the results of these tests to figure out whether you have a muscular problem or a nerve problem.
Electromyography measures how well your muscles respond to those signals.
Nerve signals are electrical impulses that travel quickly throughout your nervous system. Sometimes, problems with the electrical activity in your nerves can cause pain, tingling, or weakness in your muscles.

EEG
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the scalp. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
An EEG can find changes in brain activity that might be useful in diagnosing brain disorders, especially epilepsy or another seizure disorder. An EEG might also be helpful for diagnosing or treating:
֎ Brain tumors
֎ Brain damage from head injury
֎ Brain dysfunction that can have a variety of causes (encephalopathy)
֎ Sleep disorders
֎ Inflammation of the brain (herpes encephalitis)
֎ Stroke
