nerve conduction study

A nerve conduction study is a medical test that measures how well your nerves transmit electrical signals. It involves placing small electrodes on your skin to send tiny electrical impulses and then recording how quickly and effectively these signals travel along the nerves. This helps doctors identify issues like nerve damage or compression, and determine the cause of symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness. The procedure is generally safe, quick, and provides valuable information about nerve function to guide diagnosis and treatment.
