Research Notes on Nerve Conduction Study
A nerve conduction study (NCS) checks the electrical activity in nerves. Brief electrical impulses are sent to the nerves. Electrodes are taped to the skin to measure how fast the nerves send impulses to muscles.1
Fast Facts:
- Also called a nerve conduction velocity test.2
- NCS is often done with electromyography.1
- Electrical signals can travel 120 miles per hour in a healthy nerve.3
