About This Test

EMG + NCV Facial testing evaluates the facial nerves and muscles responsible for expressions, eye blinking, chewing, and overall facial movement. NCV testing measures the speed and strength of electrical signals traveling through the facial nerves, while EMG assesses the electrical activity in facial muscles at rest and during voluntary movement. This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as Bell’s palsy, facial nerve paralysis, trigeminal nerve disorders, hemifacial spasm, and post-surgical nerve injury. It helps determine whether the weakness or paralysis originates from a nerve lesion, muscle disorder, or underlying neurological condition. The facial EMG can also detect synkinesis, a condition where nerves regrow improperly causing uncoordinated movements. Early and accurate diagnosis through EMG + NCV Facial helps guide treatments such as physiotherapy, medication, or surgical intervention. The procedure is minimally invasive and provides detailed insight into facial nerve integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an EMG and NCV facial EPS study?
An Electrophysiology Study checks electrical signals in the heart to detect rhythm problems.
2. Who needs EPS?
Patients with unexplained palpitations, fainting or irregular heartbeat.
3. Is EPS invasive?
Yes, it is done in a cardiac lab by specialists.
4. How long is recovery?
Most patients go home the same day or next day.
5. Is EPS safe?
It is generally safe when performed by trained cardiologists.

TAT Policy

The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
