What is a Nerve Conduction Test?

Nerve conduction testing is a simple way to measure the ability of your nerves to send signals from your brain to your muscles and organs. We use this test as a baseline for patients with nerve problems; and it help us to determine if further testing is needed.

The test uses an electric current to stimulate the nerves in your body, and then measures how quickly the nerve responds to that stimulation. It involves placing some friendly sensors called electrodes on your scalp; which are like tiny detectives collecting valuable brainwave data.

Once the electrodes do their work, we can see a colorful map of your brain’s electrical dance. It’s like witnessing fireworks happening inside of your head. With a nerve conduction test, we can detect brain disorders, study sleep patterns; and even understand how your brain reacts to stimuli.
