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 ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects the peripheral nerves. Tests to diagnose this condition include nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and sometimes an MRI. CIDP ...

What meaning does decreased nerve conduction amplitude have in light of normal conduction velocity and normal muscle testing on EMG? The morphology of the peripheral nerve response is formed by the ...

Doctors may use a range of tests to diagnose myasthenia gravis (MG), including blood tests, nerve conduction tests, and imaging tests. MG is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the voluntary ...

CIDP causes muscle weakness and numbness, among other symptoms. Diagnosing CIDP involves peripheral nervous system testing, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and imaging. CIDP is an immune-mediated ...

Screening tools for diabetic peripheral neuropathy vary in sensitivity, suggesting it may be necessary to use multiple tools to reliably catch the condition. Investigators in Malta, the United Kingdom ...
