NCV Both Limb (Upper & Lower) Price in Bangladesh

What is NCV Both Limb (Upper & Lower)?

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) is a diagnostic test that measures the speed and strength of electrical signals traveling through a nerve. It helps evaluate nerve function and diagnose conditions like neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other nerve-related disorders.

During the test, electrodes are placed on the skin over the nerve, and small electrical impulses are delivered. The electrodes measure the time it takes for the electrical signal to travel, helping assess nerve health.

NCV is typically safe with minimal risks, such as mild discomfort from the electrical stimulation. Results are compared to normal values for the specific nerve being tested.

What to expect & how to prepare

Small electrodes are placed on the skin to record electrical activity from nerves, muscles or the brain. Nerve studies use brief, mild electrical pulses that can feel like a tap or twitch.

• Skin: come with clean skin and avoid oil, lotion or powder on the area to be tested, as they interfere with the electrodes.
• Tell the staff about a pacemaker or implanted stimulator, blood-thinning medicines, or any bleeding disorder before the study starts.
• Medicines: do not stop your regular medicines unless the requesting doctor has told you to; mention what you take.

No ionising radiation is used. The pulses are brief and mild, though they can be uncomfortable.

Performed and reported by a neurology or neurophysiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
