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 ...

The company behind a hand-held, FDA 510(k)-cleared automated nerve conduction testing device that is used by thousands of U.S. doctors to diagnose Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is still trying to prove ...

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 ...

What meaning does decreased nerve conduction amplitude have in light of normal conduction velocity and normal muscle testing on EMG? The morphology of the peripheral nerve response is formed by the ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects the peripheral nerves. Tests to diagnose this condition include nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and sometimes an MRI. CIDP ...

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — British investigators found that a 10-point carpal tunnel syndrome scoring system they developed correlated well with nerve conduction study findings, suggesting that using the ...

BOSTON — Health care professionals should use a broad range of tools to diagnose diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and ...

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 ...
