This week we are going to discuss a diagnostic test which is often ordered to differentiate between diseases of the nerve and muscle, as well as the nerve itself and the myelin sheath of the nerve. A ...

This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...

High glucose variability in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) strongly predicted slowed nerve conduction velocity, a forerunner of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, in a recent study.

A study published in The American Journal of Pathology identifies a novel gene which can control nerve conduction velocity. Investigators report that even minor reductions in conduction velocity may ...

Objectives: To determine the impact of the application of cryotherapy upon nerve conduction velocity (NCV), pain threshold (PTH) and pain tolerance (PTO). Design: A within subject experimental design; ...
