Article

Needle electromyography (EMG) is a common and safe diagnostic procedure. Although
there are no absolute contraindications to performing an EMG, medically induced
coagulopathy represents a relative contraindication. The purpose of this article
is to discuss EMG safety for patients taking anticoagulants and antiplatelet
agents, and to review the current literature regarding bleeding risks. Safety
measures used to avoid serious bleeding complications are also discussed.
