  • How do you test for nerve damage?

    Testing for nerve damage typically involves thorough history and physical examination to assess for any deficits, followed by a procedure known as electomyography and nerve condition study, abbreviated EMG/NCS(or NCV). This procedure is done on the affected limbs by placing electrodes along the path of the nerve, use a stimulator to send an impulse to see how the nerve responds and measurements to account for the distance between the electrode and the stimulation point. At the end of that, a small needle is placed in selective muscle groups. The needle serves to assess the muscle function when at rest and activated. There is usually blood work involved as well to help determine the cause, and/or thorough review of your medications, if you are on any meds. Nerve biopsies can also be done to check a nerve sample underneath the microscope. Heather Horton, MD READ MORE
