What are the electrodes used in electromyography?
The electromyography electrodes record the electrical activity within the human body's muscles. The electrodes apply a stimulus or record a signal during nerve conduction. It also records muscle twitching in humans.
What is the principle of electromyography?
Electromyography measures the response of the muscle or the electrical activity that is produced in response to the nerve's stimulation of the muscle. This test helps detect neuromuscular abnormalities.
What is electromyography measured in?
Electromyography is measured as potentials ranging from less than 50 microvolts and reaching up to 30 millivolts, depending on the muscle one is observing. The typical repetition rate of muscle motor unit firing rate is about 7-10 Hertz, depending on the size of the muscle, damage to the axons, and other factors.
Do you offer pediatric hyperhidrosis treatments?
Yes, we provide evaluations and treatments tailored to the needs of children and adolescents suffering from hyperhidrosis.
Can hyperhidrosis return after treatment?
Treatments like Botox have high success rates, though some conditions treated surgically might recur over time.
What is the recovery time for surgical treatments?
Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although full recovery may vary depending on the specific procedure and individual health.
How effective is Iontophoresis?
Many patients see a significant reduction in sweating with regular sessions, particularly for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis.
What are common side effects of oral medications for hyperhidrosis?
Oral medications may cause dry mouth, dry eyes, and bladder problems. It's important to discuss potential side effects with your doctor.
Are treatments safe for pregnant women?
Some treatments, like Botox, are not recommended during pregnancy. It is important to discuss all available options with a specialist.
What should I expect during the Botox treatment session?
The procedure involves multiple small injections into the affected area, typically completed within 10-30 minutes.
