Nerve Conduction study / Nerve conduction velocity.
EMG + NCV testing of all four limbs is a comprehensive evaluation of nerve and muscle function throughout the body. Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) measures how fast electrical signals travel through nerves, while Electromyography (EMG) analyzes muscle activity using small needle electrodes. Together, these tests help diagnose complex or widespread neurological disorders. They are especially useful when patients present with numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain in multiple limbs. Conditions commonly identified include generalized peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, motor neuron diseases, muscular dystrophy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, radiculopathy, and systemic nerve compression disorders. By testing all four limbs, doctors can compare patterns of nerve involvement and determine whether the issue is localized or systemic. The results also help monitor disease progression and determine treatment effectiveness. This combined study provides a detailed and accurate assessment of nerve conduction and muscle health throughout the body.
1. No special requirements.
2. Patient may feel some pain of needle pricks / current stimulation
3. Apply no body lotion.
4. Bring old record.
5. Patient required to lie down with no movement .
6.Following directions of applying force in opposite direction is important for test. So it is not possible in small children who can not follow directions. Similarly it is not possible after oral / IV sedation.
7. wearing loose clothes.

It is generally safe when performed by trained cardiologists.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:
Registration date and time
Type of scan or test
Scan time or sample collection time
Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of
the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at
the time of registration or after completion of the test.
