  2. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    The nerve conduction study is often combined with needle electromyography. The Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General recently identified the use of NCSs without a needle electromyography at the same time a sign of questionable billing. [9] The nerve conduction study consists of the following components:

  3. 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 ...

  4. Small fiber peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_fiber_peripheral...

    The diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy often requires ancillary testing. [13] Nerve conduction studies and electromyography are commonly used to evaluate large myelinated sensory and motor nerve fibers, but are ineffective in diagnosing small fiber neuropathies. [14]

    In 1995 the AANEM established the AANEM Foundation for Research & Education, as a charitable, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to advance research and science related to muscle and nerve disorders. The AANEM Foundation helps fund numerous studies and research awards related to neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine.

  6. 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.

  7. Ulnar neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_neuropathy

    Nerve conduction study (Calculation of . Diagnostic procedures to determine ulnar neuropathy include: [2] [9] [10] Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) a nerve conduction study that measures the speed that a nerve impulse travels through the nerve [11] Physical exam and medical history; Complete blood count; Urinalysis; Imaging such as an X-ray, MRI ...

  8. Electrodiagnostic medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodiagnostic_medicine

    Using their broader training, physicians in electrodiagnostic medicine, often perform more detailed evaluations which may include laboratory tests, CT or MRI scans, genetic evaluation, biopsy of nerve, skin, or muscle, or perform neuromuscular ultrasound. A more complete listing of disorders and testing can be found under neuromuscular medicine.

  9. Tarsal tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsal_tunnel_syndrome

    Some research indicates that nerve conduction tests will be normal in at least 50% of the cases. Given the unclear role of electrodiagnostics in the diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome, efforts have been made in the medical literature to determine which nerve conduction studies are most sensitive and specific for tibial mononeuropathy at the ...
