There are two primary types of electrodiagnostic tests: electromyography and nerve conduction studies. Both are performed by a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor or a neurologist.

Who performs a nerve conduction study?

The NCV is done by a neurologist. This is a doctor who specializes in brain and nerve disorders. A technologist may also do some parts of the test.

Who can administer an EMG?

The EMG is performed by a neurologist (a doctor who specializes in brain and nerve disorders), although a technologist may also perform some portions of the test.
