Needle EMG guided injection can be instrumental in increasing efficacy of treatment, and reducing side effects and iatrogenic results in a number of very important clinical areas. 

Intronix needle EMG guided injection, and EMG mapping devices are the tools to improve your clinical results, potentiate communication, automatically create and maintain treatment records.

Movement Disorders

The therapeutic use of botulinum neurotoxins (BTX) has evolved most dramatically in the field of movement disorders and has been applied to a wide spectrum of dyskinesias. In addition to the clinical benefits derived from BTX therapy in a variety of movement disorders, studies of the neurophysiologic effects of BTX have provided considerable insights into the functional organization and control of neuromuscular activity.  EMG field mapping and EMG guided injection are important tools in the management of movement disorders. 

 

Non-inflammatory Pain

A majority of these neurological disorders can be identified with “trigger points” in a muscle group. The treatment of choice is the introduction of chemicals that de-enervate these trigger points – accordingly, sales of neurotoxins such as Botulinum Toxin, are escalating rapidly. Additionally drug-free treatment modalities exist that can be carried out in a cost effective manner. EMG field mapping,  EMG guided injection, and EMG guided intramuscular stimulation are important tools in the management of pain.

Botox® Cosmetic

 

Cosmetic treatments with Botox® have been growing at an exponential rate for many years.  The role of EMG guidance in this field is focused on specific areas where injection accuracy is depended on to avoid vital structures.   Poor injection targeting can result in a droopy appearance for 4-6 months.  This is a dreaded iatrogenic result that can be avoided by simply using EMG guidance to confirm injection into the muscle of interest.  The need to increase accuracy when injecting neuromodulators has been highlighted by recent FDA reviews of the dangers of peripheral effects.   This is particularly useful for new injectors looking for confirmation before injecting drugs into patients.

 

Irritable Bladder Syndrome

 

Irritable bladder syndrome is marked by increased and frequent urine release, reduced bladder capacity and loss of bladder control.  Injection of Botox® into the urinary sphincter muscle can increase bladder capacity and reduce frequency of urination. The overall incidence of bladder detrusor instability in the general population is estimated at 10%. (BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 104 (12), 1409–1412.)   EMG guided injection is an important tool in the management of irritable bladder syndrome.
