Nerve Conduction Studies: Diagnosing Nerve Function with Precision

Symptoms Indicating a Need for NCS:

• Numbness or tingling
• Muscle weakness
• Chronic pain or unusual sensations

Conditions Diagnosed with NCS:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Peripheral Neuropathy
• Radiculopathy
• Nerve Injuries

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Small electrode patches are placed on the skin over the nerve being tested.
2. A mild electrical impulse stimulates the nerve.
3. The response is recorded to assess nerve function.

What to Expect:

• The test is quick, typically lasting 30–60 minutes.
• Mild discomfort but no lasting pain.

Before Your Appointment:

• Wear loose-fitting clothing.
• Avoid using lotions or creams on the skin.
• Inform your doctor if you have a pacemaker or other medical implants.

What the Results Mean:

• Normal results: Nerve signals are traveling at expected speeds.
• Slowed or blocked signals: Possible nerve damage or disorder.

Next Steps:

• Your doctor will review the results and discuss potential treatments or further testing.
