This week we are going to explore a testing method which is used to diagnose and specifically identify areas of nerve injuries in the body – the nerve conduction velocity test or NCV. The nerve ...

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 ...

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 ...
