EMG Finding According to the Type of Lumbar Disc Herniation

August 30, 2021 updated by: Dong Gyu Lee, Yeungnam University Hospital

A Study for Electrodiagnostic Finding According to the Type of Lumbar Disc Herniation on MRI

Disc herniation is a common cause of low back pain and leg pain. Electromyography is the only test that can objectively examine nerve damage caused by a lumbar disc herniation. This study aimed to compare the MRI findings of disc herniation and the aspects of electromyography.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Lumbar disc herniation
Patients are complaining of lower extremity radiating pain due to lumbar disc herniation.
Diagnostic test: electromyography
Electromyography (EMG) is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.

1 day During the examination of Electromyogram

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disc herniation findings of lumbar MRI
Time Frame: 1 day During the examination of lumbar MRI
