NCV Testing Services

Nerve conduction velocity or ncv is a medical test that assesses nerve damage and dysfunction. It's a procedure that measures how quickly electrical signals move through your peripheral nerves .
why is an ncv performed ?
it helps the doctor to differentiate between an injury to the nerve fibre and an injury to the myelin sheath, the protective covering surrounding the nerve.
It will also help your doctor to identify the difference between a nerve disorder and a condition where a nerve injury has affected the muscles.
In cases where a person is suffering from muscular and neuromuscular disorders such as guillain-barre syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, charcot-marie-tooth (cmt) disease, herniated disk disease, chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy and neuropathy, sciatic nerve problems and peripheral nerve injury.
The ncv test is also useful in case of a pinched nerve.
