Introduction: Pain is one of the complications of electromyography. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of acetaminophen-oxycodone and lorazepam on the pain caused by needling in electromyography. Materials and Methods: In this clinical study, 150 patients were divided into three groups (receiving lorazepam, acetaminophen and placebo). Pain was measured by visual analogue scale. Results: There was no significant difference between acetaminophen and lorazepam groups. Conclusion: there is no difference between lorazepam and acetaminophen on the pain induced by electromyography.
