How to read NCS report?

Interpreting NCS and EMG Results Amplitude: The electrical signal is represented as a wave, and the amplitude is its height. Conduction velocity (CV): The conduction velocity describes the speed at which the electrical impulse travels along the nerve. Duration: This describes the width of an electrical wave.

How do I prepare for a nerve conduction test?

How do I prepare for a nerve conduction study? Bathe or shower and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Avoid putting cream, lotion or perfume on your skin. Creams and lotions can affect the test's accuracy. Tell the provider performing the study if you have a pacemaker or any other electrical medical device.

Do you need a referral for nerve conduction test?

Your doctor should provide you with a referral letter to bring with you on the day of your appointment requesting the test(s) to be performed.

What are abnormal results from nerve conduction study?

Most often, abnormal results are due to nerve damage or destruction, including: Axonopathy (damage to the long portion of the nerve cell) Conduction block (the impulse is blocked somewhere along the nerve pathway) Demyelination (damage and loss of the fatty insulation surrounding the nerve cell)

What is a normal NCS result?

Nerve conduction velocity between 50 to 60 meters per second is considered normal. A damaged nerve may send a slower and weaker signal than a healthy one. It is possible to have normal results even if a person has nerve damage.

Who do you refer to for nerve conduction studies?

You will be seen by a doctor (either a specialist registrar or a consultant) or by a clinical physiologist technician. They will ask about your symptoms and explain the test. Usually the test involves two parts – nerve conduction studies first, and then EMG.
