title: Guidelines for outcome studies in electrodiagnostic medicine.
abstract: Based on a review of the literature and the clinical research and experience of the authors and reviewers, the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine proposes 17 criteria which should be used to construct and evaluate diagnostic and/or therapeutic outcome studies for patients with symptoms and signs of neuromuscular diseases. Neuromuscular diseases are defined as diseases that cause pathology and/or dysfunction of the sensory, motor, and/or autonomic nerve fibers and/or muscles.
