A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your ...

This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...

This week we are going to discuss a diagnostic test which is often ordered to differentiate between diseases of the nerve and muscle, as well as the nerve itself and the myelin sheath of the nerve. A ...

A nerve conduction velocity test measures the speed of electrical impulses passing through the nerves of the body. In this article, learn about how a nerve conduction velocity or NCV test is used, ...

Dr. Paul Christo answers the question: 'What Are Nerve Conduction Studies?' — -- Question: What Are Nerve Conduction Studies And How Do I Know If I Need One? Answer: Nerve conduction studies ...

Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...

What are nerve conduction tests? Nerve conduction tests are performed to evaluate the ability of nerves to conduct impulses and the speed thereof. Nerve conduction studies can indicate the extent of ...

Doctors may use a range of tests to diagnose myasthenia gravis (MG), including blood tests, nerve conduction tests, and imaging tests. MG is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the voluntary ...

Philadelphia, PA, August 13, 2014 – A new study published in The American Journal of Pathology identifies a novel gene that controls nerve conduction velocity. Investigators report that even minor ...

To measure each subject’s nerve conduction velocity for their study, researchers Jason DeFreitas (pictured far right) and JoCarol Shields used nerve conduction tests that stimulated the nerves in the ...
