Nerve conduction
Active
Description
A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a common measurement made during this test. The term NCV often is used to mean the actual test, but this is improper use of the term since velocity is only one measurement out of the entire test. Nerve conduction studies are used mainly for evaluation of paresthesias (numbness, tingling, burning) andor weakness of the arms and legs. The type of study is determined by the problem.
