Peripheral Neuropathy (N.C.V)

Muscle testing utilizing electromyography (EMG) is an advanced diaPeripheral neuropathy (PN) is a condition characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the extremities. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the function and integrity of peripheral nerves. During NCV testing, electrodes are placed on the skin overlying specific nerves, and a small electrical stimulus is applied to measure the speed at which electrical impulses travel along the nerves. By evaluating nerve conduction velocity, amplitude, and latency, NCV testing can help healthcare professionals diagnose peripheral neuropathy, determine the extent of nerve damage, and differentiate between different types of neuropathies. This information is valuable for guiding treatment decisions, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions aimed at managing symptoms and slowing the progression of neuropathy. NCV testing is commonly used in neurology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation to provide objective assessments of nerve function and aid in the comprehensive management of peripheral neuropathy.
