Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV)
What is nerve conduction velocity? Also called an electroneurography, EneG, or nerve conduction study, a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is a measurement of the speed of conduction of an electrical impulse through a nerve. NCV can determine nerve damage and destruction.
ACCURATE HEART DIAGNOSIS, DELIVERED WITH CARE: AROGYA DIAGNOSTICS, THE BEST ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY TEST CENTRE IN HABRA
A non-invasive procedure, Nerve Conduction Velocity or NCV tests are done to analyze and evaluate the functioning and integrity of the peripheral nerves. This is done by measuring conduction time, amplitude, and how fast electrical signals move through the nerve. This assessment can be further studied to diagnose and evaluate the damage to the nerves in the case of various neurological and neuromuscular conditions.
At Arogya Diagnostic Centre, we offer exceptional nerve conduction velocity test services to formulate the best strategies for neurological and neuromuscular conditions and improve patient outcomes. These are performed meticulously under the guidance and supervision of skilled technicians using advanced technology and equipment.
NERVE CONDUCTION TESTING: PROCEDURE AND IMPORTANCE
Nerves reside inside our bodies everywhere. These nerves transmit electrical signals at a specific speed. If there is any damage or malfunction within the nerves, then the speed of these signals is altered leading to abnormalities. Using adhesive patches known as surface electrodes, this altered electrical activity of the nerves is recorded. A recording of nerve conduction velocity is received which is related to the diameter of the nerve and the degree of myelination of the nerve.
For quantitative analysis, the distance across the electrodes and the time required for electrical impulses to travel between them are used to calculate the speed of nerve signals. Nerve Conduction velocity tests plays a prominent role in diagnosing as well as managing a variety of neurological disorders and nerve complications such as:
- Diabetic Neuropathy
- Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy
- Autoimmune disorders such as arthritis and Guillain barre syndrome
- Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy
- Toxin-induced neuropathy such as mercury, arsenic, and lead
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatica
- Radial Carpal tunnel syndrome
HOLISTIC SERVICES AT AROGYA NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY LAB IN HABRA
Keeping in mind the patient’s medical needs and requirements, Arogya Diagnostic Centre offers comprehensive nerve conduction velocity testing services, this includes:
- Motor Nerve Conduction: This test measures the strength and speed of the electrical signals imparted by the nerves as they travel through the motor nerves.
- Sensory Nerve Conduction: This assesses the function of the sensory nerves. These nerves are responsible for the transmission of sensory information such as touch, pain, and temperature.
- F-Wave Studies: This test evaluates the transmission of the electrical signals throughout the entire length of the nerve. Particularly employed in diagnosing injuries and disorders related to the spinal cord.
- H-Reflex Studies: This test is similar to F-Wave, the only difference is that it is used to measure the veracity of the reflex pathways.
