What is RNST (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test)?
RNST (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test) helps detect neuromuscular junction disorders and is commonly used for diagnosing Myasthenia Gravis.
A nerve is stimulated repeatedly at a fixed rate, and the muscle’s response to each stimulus is recorded. A drop in response over repeated stimuli can point to a neuromuscular junction problem.

RNST (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test) — frequently asked questions
Is RNST the same as an NCV test? +
It uses similar equipment, but instead of a single stimulus it applies repeated stimuli to look specifically at neuromuscular junction function.
Do I need an appointment, or a doctor’s referral? +
An appointment is best so the room and the technologist are free when you arrive — call us or book online. A referral letter helps us prepare, but you may also come to us first and our neurologist will advise which study you actually need.
How should I prepare? +
Your doctor may advise pausing certain medicines beforehand — please confirm this when you book.

You may feel repeated mild tingling or twitching as the nerve is stimulated. The test usually takes 30–45 minutes.
What happens afterwards, and when is the report ready? +
There is no recovery time needed. Your report is reviewed by our specialist and shared with you or your referring doctor.
