Is EMG test painful?
 
Yes. There is some discomfort at the time the needle electrodes are inserted. They feel like shots (intramuscular injections), although nothing is injected during an EMG. Afterwards, the muscle may feel a little sore for up to a few days.
 
 
My husband has peripheral neuropathy and has had the procedure several times.  He says it's uncomfortable but manageable.  Just a bit shocking.
