چکیده
Needle electromyography (EMG) is a common and safe diagnostic procedure.

The purpose of this article is to discuss EMG safety for patients taking anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents, and to review the current literature regarding bleeding risks. Safety measures used to avoid serious bleeding complications are also discussed.
