What Tools and Technologies are Used in Pain Diagnosis?
Advancements in medical technology have provided various tools to aid in diagnosing the cause of pain:
1. Imaging: X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans help in visualizing internal structures and identifying abnormalities. 2. Electromyography (EMG): Assesses the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. 3. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests can indicate infections or inflammatory markers. 4. Nerve Conduction Studies: Evaluate the function of the peripheral nerves.
