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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome has changed from previous extensile incisions under general anesthesia. Both open and endoscopic techniques have evolved to minimize incision length 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 ...

The Tinel sign test dates back to 1915 and is used to check for nerve problems called neuropathies. Experts disagree about how well the test works. The Tinel sign is the result of a simple, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Locating the source of nerve pain can be like chasing a ghost, but now doctors are finding a way to narrow down and diagnose nerve pain origin, giving new hope to patients. It is estimated that 15 to ...
