Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a highly accurate diagnostic test that measures how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. This test helps detect nerve damage, nerve compression, and neuromuscular disorders with precision. At Abhi Sri Diagnostics & Labs, our advanced NCS technology and expert technicians ensure reliable results for conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, nerve injuries, and muscle disorders. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

What Is a Nerve Conduction Study?

A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a diagnostic test that measures how fast and how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes placed on the skin gently stimulate the nerve, and sensors record the response to check nerve speed, strength, and efficiency.

NCS helps detect early nerve damage, compression, and neuropathy by identifying the exact location and severity of the problem. It is safe, quick, and essential for diagnosing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and peripheral nerve disorders.

 

Who Should Take an NCS Test?

You may need an NCS if you experience:

        ♦  Tingling or numbness in hands, feet, or limbs

        ♦  Burning or electric shock–like pain

        ♦  Muscle weakness or reduced grip strength

        ♦  Pain radiating from neck or lower back

        ♦  Symptoms of nerve compression (Carpal Tunnel, Ulnar Nerve, Sciatica)

        ♦  Suspected diabetic neuropathy

        ♦  Unexplained limb pain or heaviness

        ♦  Foot drop or nerve injury after trauma

          ✔ High-accuracy nerve assessment with advanced equipment

          ✔ Detects early neuropathy, even before symptoms worsen

          ✔ Safe, quick, and non-invasive testing process

          ✔ Clear identification of nerve compression or degeneration

          ✔ Helps differentiate nerve vs. muscle-related problems

          ✔ Supports your doctor in creating a personalized treatment plan

How the NCS Test Is Done

  1. Electrodes are placed on the skin over the tested nerve.

  2. A mild electrical impulse stimulates the nerve.

  3. Another electrode records how fast and strong the signal travels.

  4. The process is repeated for multiple nerves for a complete evaluation.

  5. Results are interpreted by experienced specialists.

This test usually takes 20–45 minutes and requires no downtime.

Conditions Identified Through NCS

  • Peripheral neuropathy (diabetic, alcohol-related, nutritional)

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Sciatica & nerve root compression

  • Ulnar nerve palsy

  • Radiculopathy

  • Foot drop

  • Brachial plexus injury

  • Muscle or nerve degeneration disorders
