Repetitive Nerve Stimulation

Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) disorders result from impaired transmission of neural signals across the nerve-muscle interface, resulting in debilitating weakness of the affected muscles. Neuromuscular junction transmission disorders have various causes and manifestations and include myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and botulism. Myasthenia gravis is an acquired autoimmune disorder and is the most commonly encountered NMJ disorder in clinical practice. Diagnosing NMJ disorders requires careful history taking, physical examination, and standard electrodiagnostic testing. Repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) is an electrophysiological study that evaluates the integrity of the NMJ. RNS can confirm the diagnosis of an NMJ disorder and pinpoint which element of signal transmission is impaired. This activity reviews the relevant anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, indications, contraindications, and technique for performing RNS and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in performing a comprehensive evaluation of patients with NMJ disorders.
