How is an NCV test performed?
The doctor can use this test to distinguish between damage to the myelin sheath and an injury to the nerve fibre (a covering that shields the nerve).
To choose the best course of treatment, it is crucial to be able to pinpoint the actual issue.
What can a nerve conduction velocity test help diagnose?
A qualified Neurologist performs an NCV test. During the procedure, flat patches known as Surface Electrodes are placed at regular intervals on your skin over the nerves in various parts of your body. These patches are comparable to those used during an ECG.
The electronic patches deliver low-intensity electrical impulses to the affected nerve. These impulses are then used to record the electrical activity of the nerve. The distance between electrodes and the time it takes electrical impulses to move between electrodes are used to determine the speed of nerve signals.
