Electromyography Related Anxiety and Pain: A Prospective Study.   لغة الوثيقة : الانجليزية  المستخلص : Background: Electromyography (EMG) is a useful test, but unfortunately also painful. We frequently encounter patients who are worried about its painful nature, but they tolerate it very well. Objectives: To study the anxiety level of patients coming for EMG and explore the possible correlating and contributing factors to high anxiety. Method: A structured questionnaire including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was completed by patients immediately before EMG testing. Emergency, hospitalized, and seriously ill patients were excluded. Result: 79 cases aged between 19-72 years (mean 43) were included. Thirty five (44%) patients had a high pre-test anxiety level. The likelihood of high anxiety was increased if the patient was worried about the test (p<0.001) or about other things unrelated to the test or diagnosis (p<0.001), or was taking an anti-psychotic or anxiolytic drug (P=0.008). The degree or source of knowledge prior to EMG, did not affect the anxiety level. Conclusions: Patients coming for EMG are more likely to have high anxiety if they were worried about the test or other aspects of their life, or were taking an anti-psychotic or anxiolytic drug. The level of information about the test did not affect the anxiety level.  ردمد : 0969-711  اسم الدورية : Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences  المجلد : 1  العدد : 26  سنة النشر : 1999 هـ 1999 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Saturday, March 13, 2010  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني محمد جان jan, Mohammed باحث دكتوراه   الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  25944.doc doc   الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
