NCV (Nerve Conduction Study)
NCV (Nerve Conduction Study) evaluates how well and how fast nerves transmit electrical signals, and is commonly used to assess conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome.

What is NCV (Nerve Conduction Study)?
NCV (Nerve Conduction Study) evaluates how well and how fast nerves transmit electrical signals, and is commonly used to assess conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Mild electrical impulses are delivered to the skin over specific nerves to measure how quickly and strongly they carry a signal, helping identify where and how a nerve problem is occurring.

How the test works
- Small adhesive electrodes are placed over specific nerves and muscles
- Mild electrical impulses are delivered to the skin to stimulate the nerve
- The speed and strength of the nerve’s response is recorded and measured
What to expect — step by step

NCV (Nerve Conduction Study) — frequently asked questions
Is NCV painful? +
You may feel a brief tingling or twitching sensation with each stimulus, but it is generally well tolerated and does not cause lasting discomfort.
Is NCV often done together with EMG? +
Yes — the two tests are frequently done in the same visit because they give complementary information about nerve and muscle function.
How should I prepare? +
Avoid applying oil or lotion to the area being tested on the day of your test. Continue your regular medicines unless advised otherwise.
What happens during the test? +
You may feel brief, mild tingling or a twitch as each nerve is stimulated. Most studies take 30–60 minutes depending on how many nerves are tested.
What happens afterwards, and when is the report ready? +
