Can children have these tests?
Yes. Both nerve conduction studies and EMG can be safely performed in children when needed. At Welbeck, we can see paediatric patients from age 12 to 18. Our specialists adapt the procedure to ensure it’s as quick and gentle as possible. Local anaesthetic or distraction techniques may be used for comfort, and a parent or carer is welcome to stay in the room throughout.
