The first steps in the evaluation and management of<unk>  involve a medical provider obtaining a medical history and conducting a physical examination. Diagnosis of<unk>  relies on proper identification of a pattern in motor and sensory function deficits in the upper or lower extremities. To rule out confounding conditions such as radiculopathy or myelopathy, an MRI of the cervical or lumbar spine is often obtained. If<unk>  is suspected after imaging, an EMG performed by a neurologist or physiatrist can help confirm a<unk> , and clarify the localization within the brachial or lumbosacral plexus. Following electrodiagnostic testing, further imaging may be obtained of relevant soft tissue structures with either ultrasound or MRI. Some blood tests may help identify the cause of the<unk> , including screening for diabetes, and obtaining a complete blood count (CBC) and a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP).
