NCV Test in Kolkata
Nerve Conduction test in Kolkata
The Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) study is a component of an Electromyography (EMG) test. It measures the speed and intensity of signals that travel between two or more points by using surface electrodes attached to the skin. NCV employs small devices called electrodes to transmit or detect electrical signals. During an EMG, a needle electrode is inserted directly into a muscle to record its electrical activity. The results of an NCV study can indicate nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction, or issues with the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles.
