EMG Finding According to the Type of Lumbar Disc Herniation
- Conditions
- Intervertebral Disc DisplacementElectromyography
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: electromyography
- Registration Number
- NCT04538807
- Lead Sponsor
- Yeungnam University Hospital
- Brief Summary
Disc herniation is a common cause of low back pain and leg pain. Electromyography is the only test that can objectively examine nerve damage caused by a lumbar disc herniation. This study aimed to compare the MRI findings of disc herniation and the aspects of electromyography.
