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 ...

Damage to the median nerve within the carpal tunnel gives rise to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which is associated with a wide spectrum of symptoms. The predominant classic symptoms are nocturnal ...

Motor nerve conduction is a noninvasive clinical test used to diagnose nerve problems. Current techniques use a single-site recording over a superficial muscle. But the investigators note that the ...

Nerve conduction studies show how well the body’s electrical signals travel down your nerves. During a nerve conduction study test, providers apply small electrical shocks to your nerve and record how ...

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 ...

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have found that subtle change in nerve conduction is the first reliable sign of nerve complications from diabetes and that this change can be measured long ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have found that subtle change in nerve conduction is the first reliable sign of nerve complications from diabetes and that this change can be measured long before other ...
