LOINC description : This panel contains the collection of terms that would be used to report the results
of a repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) study. The panel should be repeated for each
nerve and muscle studied. RNS is used to evaluate neuromuscular transmission and is
used to help diagnose conditions such as myasthenia gravis. Whereas in a typical motor
nerve conduction study a single nerve stimulus is applied and the muscle response
is recorded, in RNS, the nerve is stimulated multiple times and the corresponding
muscle responses are measured along with the change in response over time. In patients
without neuromuscular disease, the muscle response stays constant with repeated stimulation
as well as with exercise. In patients with disease, there is typically a significant
decrease in muscle response with repeated stimulation. [PMID: 15961865];
