CLINICAL MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies are tests that measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. Nerves send out electrical signals to make your muscles react in certain ways.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test-also called a nerve conduction study (NCS)-measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve. NCV can identify nerve damage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a test to see how fast electrical signals move through a nerve. This test is done along with electromyography (EMG) to assess the muscles for abnormalities. The nerve conduction velocity test is performed to evaluate nerve function. It tests the speed impulses travel through a nerve.

Detailed explanation-4: -EMG/NCV testing is used to diagnose disorders of the nerves and muscles, testing for neuropathies, carpel tunnel syndrome, sciatica, neck and spine conditions. It is a function test for the nerves and muscles, and complements the clinical exam as well as imaging studies, e.g. MRI.

Detailed explanation-5: -Confirming if you have a neuropathy a nerve conduction test (NCS), where small metal wires called electrodes are placed on your skin that release tiny electric shocks to stimulate your nerves; the speed and strength of the nerve signal is measured.
