Why electromyoneurography instead of electromyography and electroneurography? Electroneurography is essential for interpretation of electromyographic results!

چکیده
The author suggests revival and further development of old method who had proven to be of significant benefit in differential dignostics of nerve lesions and displayed significant research possibilities. The basic idea is the unification of electromyographic results with neural stimulation. Therefore the author suggests again, to use new name Electromyoneurography for the old methods.

Protocol for Neurophysiological Studies of the Superior and Recurrent Laryngeal Nerves and of the Cricothyroid and Thyroarytenoid Muscles. Clinical Utility
Neurophysiological studies of the larynx using laryngeal electroneuromyography (LENMG), which includes electromyography (EMG) and electroneurography (ENG), are essential for assessing neuromuscular function and for differential diagnosis of voice alterations (dysphonia) secondary to specific laryngeal disease or to other more general processes affecting the larynx. Laryngeal disease can be caus...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare, mainly acute inflammatory polyneuropathy in humans. It is frequently post-infectious with auto antibodies being formed against myelin sheaths, resulting in a progressive and more-or-less severe paralysis of the motor neuron and cranial nerves. Mortality is low and 60 % of the patients recover completely from the disease after intensive treatment. In anim...
