I so concur that the testing is painful! I wrote a long reply earlier in this conversation feed regarding my experiences with 3 of the nerve and muscle studies. At this point in my life (I'm 74) I would not agree to having another done, exception being that there is a huge underlying reason for doing so. I gave birth with no medications three times, so I would say that in my 20's my pain threshold was pretty significant. NOT NOW, especially with fibromyalgia (over 30 years) and diagnosed central nervous system issues.

May I suggest that you inquire if perhaps anything can be given to "take the edge off" the pain, without it interfering with accuracy of readings? I know that the last test I had in 2021, there was no offer of anything to help me out. When it was over, I was spent on so many levels...
