Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders may require complex tests such as blood investigations (including relevant DNA or antibody analysis), electrical testing of nerve and muscle and/or biopsy of nerve and muscle.
However, a clinical assessment is the starting point because this can often allow a clinical diagnosis minimising the use of more uncomfortable tests.
If required, we can rely on the help of colleagues with expertise in interpretation of electrical test (neurophysiology|), nerve or muscle biopsies| (pathologists) and genetic analysis|.
