Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

What is Nerve Conduction Study ?

A Nerve conduction study is an electrical test that is used to determine the adequacy of the conduction of the nerve impulse as it courses down a nerve. This test is used to detect signs of nerve injury.

How the NCS is performed ?

During the test, your nerve is stimulated, usually with electrode patches attached to your skin. Two electrodes are placed on the skin over your nerve. One electrode stimulates your nerve with a very mild electrical impulse. The other electrode records it. The resulting electrical activity is recorded by another electrode. This is repeated for each nerve being tested.

The speed is then calculated by measuring the distance between electrodes and the time it takes for electrical impulses to travel between electrodes.

Which diseases or conditions are diagnosed by NCS ?

Guillain-Barré syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Diabetic neuropathy
Brachial plexus injury
Foot Drop
Motor Neuron Disease
Hereditary Neuropathies
Herniated disk disease
Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy
Sciatic nerve problems

Electro Encephalo Gram (EEG)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp.

Video EEG

A video EEG (electroencephalograph) records what you are doing or experiencing on video tape while an EEG test records your brainwaves.

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

Electromyography (EMG)

Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities.

Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test (RNST)

RNS is an electrodiagnostic test which is used to assess the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).

Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP)

A visual evoked potential is an evoked potential caused by a visual stimulus, such as an alternating checkerboard pattern on a computer screen. Responses are recorded from electrodes that are placed on the back of your head and are observed as a reading on an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER)

A brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test measures how your brain processes the sounds you hear. The BAER test records your brainwaves in response to clicks or other audio tones that are played for you. The test is also called a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) or auditory brainstem response (ABR) test.

Botulinum Toxin Therapy

Botulinum toxin injection therapy (BOTOX therapy) is used to treat dystonia - neuromuscular disorder that produces involuntary muscle contractions, or spasm - that affects muscles that control movement in the eyes, neck, face, limbs, voice box, or the smooth muscle in the bladder. The goal of the therapy is to reduce muscle spasm and pain.
