Diagnosis begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. Tests that may be ordered include:
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): To measure how well electrical signals move through the peripheral nerves. Electromyography (EMG): To assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. Blood Tests: To check for vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. Imaging Studies: MRI or CT scans may be used to visualize any structural abnormalities.
