Page "Neuromyotonia" Paragraph 13

From there, you are likely to be referred to a neurologist or a neuromuscular specialist.

The neurologist or a neuromuscular specialist may run a series of more specialized tests, including EMG / NCS ( this is one of the most important tests ), chest CT ( to rule out paraneoplastic ) and specific blood work looking for voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies, acethlocholine receptor antibody, and serum immunofixation, TSH, ANA ESR, EEG etc.

Neuromyotonia is characterized electromyographically by doublet, triplet or multiplet single unit discharges that have a high, irregular intraburst frequency.

Fibrillation potentials and fasciculations are often also present with electromyography.
