Explore a comprehensive lecture on peripheral neuropathy and electromyography (EMG) from Mayo Clinic neurologist Dr. Michelle Mauermann. Delve into the practical approach to diagnosing and treating peripheral neuropathy, including its various causes such as diabetes, B12 deficiency, and hereditary factors. Learn about the role of EMG and other diagnostic tools like nerve conduction studies, skin biopsies, and autonomic tests in evaluating neuropathy. Gain insights into treatment strategies, understand the limitations of EMG, and discover the importance of considering various causes when diagnosing peripheral neuropathy. This Grand Rounds presentation covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of peripheral neuropathy to advanced diagnostic techniques, providing valuable knowledge for healthcare professionals dealing with neurological disorders.
