There are no tests to diagnose DOMS. A healthcare provider will instead conduct a thorough examination to rule out other possible causes of symptoms, such as rhabdomyolysis, compartment syndrome, or muscle strains. If the assessment indicates a condition other than DOMS, blood tests or imaging may be performed for further evaluation.[1][2]
