Amaster's thesis at the college of Medicine, University of Basrah, discussed the Neurophysiological Changes by Nerve Conduction Study and Needle Electromyography (EMG) Among Patients with COVID-19).The research presented by student Nareen Haikaz Hasrat aims to Raising awareness and the index of suspicion about COVID-19-related neuropathy and myopathy, as well as using nerve conduction studies (NCS) and needle electromyography (EMG) to look at neuroelectrophysiological changes in COVID-19 patients, whether they have neurological symptoms or notTheresearch concluded that COVID-19 can affect the peripheral nervous system in a variety of ways. Peripheral neuropathies and myopathies, whether acute or chronic, are reported. The incidence of GBS has significantly increased during COVID-19, and this needs to be addressed seriously to prevent the serious complications of such a fatal disease. Electrophysiology is the gold standard in the evaluation of such peripheral nervous system abnormalities, and it is recommended for the diagnosis and follow-up of suspected patients. Non-pathological abnormalities were discovered among COVID-19 patients, and these need to be followed up, although their clinical significance is still vague at this time, and this could be a future research focus.
