RNS (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation) Test

Repetitive Nerve Stimulation (RNS) is a specialized test used to evaluate the function of the neuromuscular junction – the connection between nerves and muscles. It is commonly used in the diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis and other neuromuscular junction disorders.

Why is RNS Test Done?

• To diagnose Myasthenia Gravis
• To detect Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS)
• To evaluate disorders of the neuromuscular junction
• To differentiate between nerve, muscle, and junction problems

How is RNS Test Performed?

During the RNS test, a series of small electrical impulses are applied to a motor nerve, and the muscle response is recorded. In patients with Myasthenia Gravis, the muscle response typically decreases with repeated stimulation, confirming the diagnosis.

Benefits of RNS Test

• Non-invasive and safe test
• Helps confirm diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis
• Guides treatment decisions for neuromuscular disorders
• Quick outpatient procedure
