Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) – Assessing Nerve Function at CDC

A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) measures the speed and strength of electrical signals in nerves.
It is used to diagnose nerve damage, neuropathy, and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and nerve compression disorders.
At CDC, our specialists perform accurate and painless NCS tests to assess nerve health. This test is essential for people experiencing tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, or slow reflexes. NCS provides valuable data for neurologists to determine the severity of nerve damage and recommend treatment.

Measures Nerve Signal Speed & Strength

Detects nerve blockages, damage, and dysfunction.

Essential for Neuropathy & Nerve Compression Diagnosis

Helps diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel and nerve injuries.

Non-Invasive & Quick Procedure

Safe, painless, and completed within 30 to 60 minutes.

Benefits of NCS Research

NCS is a key diagnostic tool for detecting nerve dysfunction before symptoms worsen. It helps doctors determine the severity and progression of nerve damage. Useful for monitoring diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, and nerve injuries. Provides data for early intervention and treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
