Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
Advanced Nerve Testing for Accurate Diagnosis
At Dr. Varun Manjunath’s Neurology Clinic, we offer Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) to evaluate the health and functioning of your peripheral nerves. This diagnostic test plays a crucial role in identifying nerve-related disorders and guiding effective treatment plans.
What is a Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)?
A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a specialized diagnostic test that measures how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. It helps detect nerve damage, dysfunction, or abnormalities that may be causing pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations.
Why is NCS Performed?
NCS is recommended to diagnose a variety of neurological conditions, including:
Peripheral Neuropathy
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Sciatica and nerve compression
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Muscle weakness and nerve injuries
Diabetic neuropathy
Symptoms That May Require NCS
You may be advised to undergo an NCS if you experience:
Persistent numbness or tingling
Burning or sharp nerve pain
Muscle weakness
Loss of coordination
Unexplained limb discomfort
How the Procedure Works
Small electrodes are placed on the skin over the nerve being tested
Mild electrical impulses are delivered to stimulate the nerve
The response is recorded to measure nerve speed and strength
The test is safe, minimally uncomfortable, and typically completed within 30–60 minutes
