Serial nerve ultrasound and motor nerve conduction studies in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy

Muscle and Nerve, 2019
The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between cross‐sectional area (CSA) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and to determine how CSA changes over time after ...

Sensory Nerve Conduction Studies

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1994
Sensory nerve conduction studies (NCS) are an indispensable component of the electrodiagnostic examination. They evolved from mixed NCS, and were initially described by Dawson in 1950. Gilliatt and Sears first reported their clinical value in 1958. Compared to motor NCS, sensory NCS are much less standardized.

Nerve conduction and electromyography studies

Journal of Neurology, 2012
Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG), often shortened to 'EMGs', are a useful adjunct to clinical examination of the peripheral nervous system and striated skeletal muscle. NCS provide an efficient and rapid method of quantifying nerve conduction velocity (CV) and the amplitude of both sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) and ...

Sensory nerve conduction study of the mental nerve

Muscle & Nerve, 2000
We describe a technique for sensory nerve conduction study of the mental nerve. A monopolar recording needle is placed near the mandibular foramen using the same approach as that for routine inferior alveolar nerve block in dentistry, and a surface reference electrode is positioned over the ipsilateral mastoid process.

Motor Nerve Conduction Studies

2021
Abstract Electrodiagnostic testing is an important part of the evaluation of patients with focal or diffuse neuromuscular disorders. Assessment of compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) is an essential nerve conduction study (NCS) technique that permits quantitative measurement of peripheral motor function. Since disease of the axons,

Nerve conduction normal values for electrodiagnosis in pediatric patients

Muscle and Nerve, 2019
Existing normal value references for pediatric nerve conduction studies (NCS) are based on limited sample sizes with uncertain reliability, suggesting a need for better normative data.

Nerve conduction study of the three supraclavicular nerve branches

Muscle & Nerve, 2018
ABSTRACTIntroduction: We describe a new nerve conduction study technique with reference values for the 3 branches of the supraclavicular nerve (SCN) in young healthy subjects and application of it in 2 patients. Methods: The recording electrode was placed on the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, 6–7 cm from the sternoclavicular joint.

Electrodiagnosis and Nerve Conduction Studies

Clinics in Podiatry, 1984
The use of electrodiagnostic techniques in evaluation of complaints in the lower extremities provides an objective method of assessment. A basic understanding of principles of neurophysiology, EMG and NCV methodology, and neuropathology of peripheral nerves greatly enhances physical diagnosis and improves the state of the art in treatment of the lower ...

Nerve conduction studies.

British journal of hospital medicine, 1989
Nerve conduction studies provide unique quantitative information about neurological function in patients with a variety of neuromuscular disorders. This article emphasizes the need for careful selection of the appropriate procedures, informed interpretation of the data, and correlation of the results with the clinical information about each individual ...

Nerve conduction studies in selected peripheral nerve disorders

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2002
The physiological properties of nerve and muscle are influenced by pathological changes and the aim of this review is to discuss recent contributions of electrophysiological studies to the understanding and diagnosis of selected peripheral nerve disorders.
