Nerve Conduction Velocity or NCV test is a procedure that measures how fast and efficient electrical impulses travel through your nerves. The test is widely used to diagnose nerve injury or abnormalities affecting the nerves and muscles.
If you need an NCV test in Delhi as part of a clinical trial or diagnostic purposes, Star Home Care ensures a hassle-free experience. We have a team of certified NCV technicians with extensive experience providing high-quality and reliable NCV tests at an affordable price.
What is the Nerve Conduction Velocity Test?
A Nerve Conduction Test helps measure the speed of electrical impulse conduction through your peripheral nerves. During the procedure, the nerves in a particular area are stimulated using electrode patches attached to the skin. Usually, two electrodes are positioned on the skin over the nerve, wherein one electrode helps stimulate the nerve using mild electrical impulses and the other electrode records the movement.
The process is repeated to test each nerve under-diagnosis. The speed of nerve conduction is then measured by calculating the distance between two electrodes and the time taken for electrical impulses to travel between the electrodes. The diagnostic test is widely used to identify the presence, extent and location of underlying diseases or injuries that are damaging the nerves and muscles.
