Electromyography (EMG) is a test that measures muscle activity and tension by recording electrical signals using small electrodes placed on the skin. This test is commonly used in the assessment of anxiety because anxiety can cause increased muscle tension. The other tests listed (galvanic skin response, electrodermal response, and ambulatory blood pressure) are measures of physiological changes that can also be related to anxiety, but they do not specifically measure muscle tension.
