SFEMG recommendations & reliability
I need your recommendations for SFEMG testing (as a private message please) regardless of where that might be.
Please write one sentence with your reason for the recommendation and also include if you needed a referral.
Thanks,
From Anacrusis
I had also been wondering if SFEMG´s are really 95% accurate (or thereabouts)
Or, if that percentage would end up being much lower because of the following´discrepancies´:
1) SFEMG results can be negative in MG patients who are in crisis
2) SFEMG results depend on the practitioner
3) SFEMG results are less accurate if not taken on a weak muscle area
4) SFEMG can be negative in seronegative patients
5) SFEMG´s are negative in myasthenia if the problem lies solely with muscle contraction and not transmission of the electrical signal itself *
6) Other…..
* Thanks to Alice md for sharing both her experiences and extensive research on these topics
