nerve conduction Velocity Test in Trivandrum
What is a nerve conduction velocity test?
The NCV test is done to determine the speed with which an electric impulse travels through the peripheral nerves. It’s helpful in diagnosing any nerve damage or a nerve disorder. For the procedure, electrode patches are attached to your skin and through those short busts of electrical impulses are delivered to the basal nerve or muscle. Another set of electrode patches that are attached to the skin record the electric activity and gathers the data. The doctors look at this data and determine how the nerve acts in response to these impulses.
