Over time, newer techniques, such as somatosensory evoked potentials, single fiber electromyography, autonomic testing, and neuromuscular ultrasound have evolved as useful complementary techniques to nerve conduction studies and elecytromyography, which remain the core of electrodiagnostic medicine.

The AANEM developed the Electrodiagnostic Laboratory Accreditation Program in 2010 as a voluntary, peer-review process that identifies and acknowledges electrodiagnostic laboratories that achieve and maintain the highest level of quality, performance, and integrity based on professional standards.

Normal nerve conduction studies, however, do not exclude the diagnosis of CTS . Clinical assessment by history taking and physical examination can support a diagnosis of CTS . If clinical suspicion of CTS is high, treatment should be initiated despite normal electrodiagnostic testing.

Repeated stimuli over a period of about 10 seconds eventually lead to sufficient delivery of calcium, and an increase in muscle contraction to normal levels, which can be demonstrated using an electrodiagnostic medicine study called needle electromyography by increasing amplitude of repeated compound muscle action potentials.

Electrodiagnostic abnormalities common to myopathies and neuropathies include; abnormal spontaneous activity ( e . g ., fibrillations, positive sharp waves, etc . ) on needle EMG and, small amplitudes of the motor responses compound muscle action potential, or CMAP during nerve conduction studies.

He has served in many capacities in different professional organizations including being currently a member of the editorial board in the Knowledge NOW publications of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, membership of different committees of the American Academy of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine, etc.

AANEM also participated in the Choosing Wisely campaign established by the American Board of Internal Medicine ( ABIM ) Foundation by creating a list of five situations in which electrodiagnostic and other imaging studies are inappropriate in an effort to educate patients and spur conversation between the provider and the patient.

In the United States, neurologists and physiatrists receive training in electrodiagnostic medicine ( performing needle electromyography and "'NCS "'s ) as part of residency training and in some cases acquire additional expertise during a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology, electrodiagnostic medicine, or neuromuscular medicine.
