It can be, about 10-20% of patients will describe it as a discomfort, or electrical stinging sensation. There are two types of test you should be getting; one is a nerve conduction study and the second is an EMG. An EMG is where the provider uses very small needles that are inserted into the muscles of the arms and sends small electrical impulses to test certain nerves in the upper extremities.

No there is just about nothing too it. Had the test done on both hands and hardly remember having it done other then paying the doctor.
