Nerve Conduction Study

A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure how quickly and effectively electrical signals move through peripheral nerves. Conducted by a specialist, this test involves placing small electrodes on the skin and applying gentle electrical stimulation to specific nerves.

​

The NCS is often performed in conjunction with an EMG to assess nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction.

When is a Nerve Conduction Study needed?

This assessment is commonly recommended for individuals who:

  • Experience numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness,

  • Have symptoms of nerve compression (e.g., carpal tunnel, sciatica),

  • Are recovering from trauma involving the spine or limbs,

  • Show signs of peripheral neuropathy or radiculopathy,

  • Need diagnostic confirmation for any purposes.
