Nerve conduction and electromyography studies are generally well tolerated and pose little risk to patients of serious adverse events in the hands of a well-trained competent practitioner. However, some patients and certain examinations do carry a higher risk of potential complications. It is good medical practice to inform patients of any risks, their potential severity and relative frequency. In order to obtain informed consent a dialogue should take place about the nature, purpose and effects of the studies, so patients can decide if they wish to undergo the proposed investigation. In this educational review we identify those procedures and patients at risk, and provide pragmatic practice recommendations for managing these material risks.
