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 ...

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

Doctors may use a range of tests to diagnose myasthenia gravis (MG), including blood tests, nerve conduction tests, and imaging tests. MG is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the voluntary ...

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 ...

CIDP causes muscle weakness and numbness, among other symptoms. Diagnosing CIDP involves peripheral nervous system testing, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and imaging. CIDP is an immune-mediated ...

A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) conducted at Alpha Brain Study Centre revealed acute nerve damage. The test showed reduced muscle response in both legs, absence of sensory nerve signals, and missing ...

November 11, 2009 — The sole use of monofilament testing is not recommended to diagnose peripheral neuropathy, according to the results of a systematic review reported in the November/December issue ...

Screening tools for diabetic peripheral neuropathy vary in sensitivity, suggesting it may be necessary to use multiple tools to reliably catch the condition. Investigators in Malta, the United Kingdom ...
