▶ Nerve conduction studies (NCS) give information about how well and how fast the electrical impulses are travelling in the nerves. This test can be used to check for various different types of problems with the peripheral nervous system. The nerve is electrically stimulated and the response of the nerve to that electrical impulse is measured. This is usually done with surface patch electrodes.
▶ NCS is helpful in determining the presence, type, pattern and severity of nerve damage. NCS allows the Neurologist to differentiate between axonopathy (injury to the nerve fibre) and myelinopathy (injury to the protective covering surrounding the nerve fibre).
