Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 The reason for no lotion is that it interferes with the sensors of the EMG machine. Enjoy, Ruth Med effects on EMG Hi everyone. Hope each of you have a good restful weekend. If you are in Florida it's suppose to be high 90's well at least in central Florida. So guess its a stay at home in AC weekend wondering if any can offer info/insight: will medications such as klonopin, baclofen, zanaflex, ultracet, or benadryl effect results of an EMG? they didn't say not to take any medications, just not to wear lotion/creams that day. i didn't ask why no lotion but curious how would that affect results? my legs are going to look like fish scales that day LOL. the thought of not putting on lotion that morning (test is in afternoon) will probably bother me more than the test itself anyway, medication effects on EMG? have a good weekend and stay cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
