What is Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Bilateral Upper Limb Test?

The nerve conduction velocity (NCV) upper limb test is used to evaluate nerve dysfunction and damage. It determines the speed at which electrical signals travel through the peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves aid in muscle control and sensory perception. They are located outside your brain, along your spinal cord.

Electrical signals travel faster and with greater strength in normal healthy nerves than in damaged nerves. The NCV tests aid in the diagnosis of nerve disorders as well as injuries to the myelin sheath and nerve fibres.

Why is it done?

The NCV test is used to differentiate between different nerve injuries and disorders. It is used to determine nerve dysfunction or nerve damage.

What is the procedure for Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Bilateral Upper Limb Test?

Your nerve is stimulated during the test, usually with electrode patches attached to your skin. Two electrodes are placed on your skin, just above your nerve. One electrode sends a very mild electrical impulse to your nerve. It is recorded by the other electrode. Further details your provider will give you.

How does one prepare for the test? 

Before undergoing the NCV test, you must notify your doctor if you have any bleeding disorders, take blood-thinning medications, or regularly take aspirin. Apply no cream or lotion to your skin before the test, especially on the areas where you will be tested. Your doctor may instruct you to lie down or sit during the test.
