Abstract:
The important features that predict the amount of pain experienced by patients with low back pain who undergo needle electromyography were the patients' assessment of their own pain, their trait-anxiety levels, and female sex. Although it does not influence EMG pain, information about the test will decrease the anxiety of patients coming for testing.
