  2. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Nerve conduction studies are beneficial to diagnose certain diseases of the nerves of the body. The test is not invasive, but can be painful due to the electrical shocks administered during the test. The shocks are associated with a low amount of electric current, so they pose minimal risk to the patients.

  3. Action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_potential

    Several types of channels capable of producing the positive feedback necessary to generate an action potential do exist. Voltage-gated sodium channels are responsible for the fast action potentials involved in nerve conduction. Slower action potentials in muscle cells and some types of neurons are generated by voltage-gated calcium channels.

  4. Electrophysiological techniques for clinical diagnosis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiological...

    The compression of the median nerve within the carpal canal of the wrist and the progression of symptoms resulting from this entrapment is known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Nerve conduction studies have been used as a control electrophysiological method in the development of better CTS diagnostic techniques. [9]

  5. Clinical neurophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_neurophysiology

    Electromyography and nerve conduction studies: These diagnostic tests of the peripheral nervous system are especially useful in evaluating diseases of the muscles, nerves, and nerve roots. The basis of these tests is recording electrical activity of the muscles and the passage of electric signal along the nerves in the limbs.

  6. Electromyoneurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyoneurography

    Electromyoneurography (EMNG) is the combined use of electromyography and electroneurography [1] This technique allows for the measurement of a peripheral nerve's conduction velocity upon stimulation (electroneurography) alongside electrical recording of muscular activity (electromyography). Their combined use proves to be clinically relevant by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodiagnostic_medicine

    Over time, newer techniques, such as somatosensory evoked potentials, single fiber electromyography, autonomic testing, and neuromuscular ultrasound have evolved as useful complementary techniques to nerve conduction studies and elecytromyography, which remain the core of electrodiagnostic medicine.
