- NCV / EEG / EMG – Durga Advanced Diagnostics Center
Advanced neurological testing with NCV, EEG, and EMG for accurate diagnosis.
Advanced neurodiagnostic testing with accurate NCV, EEG, and EMG for complete nerve and brain health evaluation.
What is an NCV Test?
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) is a specialized diagnostic test used to evaluate the functioning and electrical conduction of peripheral nerves in the body.
The test measures how quickly electrical signals travel through the nerves and helps identify nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction.
NCV studies are commonly performed to diagnose neurological and muscular disorders affecting the hands, legs, arms, and feet.
Why is an NCV Test Performed?
NCV testing helps in diagnosing various conditions affecting the nervous system, including:
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Nerve Compression Disorders
- Sciatica
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome
- Diabetic Neuropathy
- Muscle Weakness & Numbness
- Nerve Injuries or Trauma
Advantages & Clinical Benefits of NCV
- Accurate Assessment of Nerve Function
- Helps Detect Early Nerve Damage
- Non-Surgical Diagnostic Procedure
- Assists in Treatment Planning
- Quick & Reliable Neurological Evaluation
- Useful in Monitoring Disease Progression
Benefits
Advantages & Clinical Benefits
- Detailed 3D visualization of organs and structures
- Real-time 4D imaging for fetal movement assessment
- Completely radiation-free and safe for all patients
- Accurate detection of abnormalities and anomalies
- Advanced probe technology for high-resolution imaging
- Comfortable and painless procedure for patients
NCV Test Procedure
- Small electrodes are placed on the skin over specific nerves and muscles
- Mild electrical impulses are delivered to stimulate the nerves via electrodes placed on the skin
- The response speed and signal strength are recorded
- The velocity of the conduction through the nerve is calculated.
- The neurologist analyzes the nerve conduction results
The procedure is safe and may cause mild temporary discomfort during stimulation.
Biochemistry
- Wear loose and comfortable clothing
- Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams before the test
- Inform the doctor about pacemakers or implanted devices
- Continue medications unless advised otherwise

What is an EEG Test?
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure and record the electrical activity of the brain.
The test detects brain wave patterns through small electrodes placed on the scalp and helps diagnose various neurological and brain-related conditions.
EEG is commonly used to evaluate seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, unconsciousness, and abnormal brain activity.
Why is an EEG Test Performed?
EEG helps in diagnosing and monitoring several neurological disorders, including:
- Epilepsy & Seizure
- Disorders
- Sleep disorders
- Brain Infections
- Head Injuries
- Stroke & Brain Dysfunction
- Loss of Consciousness
- Memory & Behavioral Disorders
- Brain Tumors
Advantages & Clinical Benefits of EEG
- Safe & Non-Invasive Brain Monitoring
- Helps Detect Abnormal Brain Activity
- Assists in Epilepsy Diagnosis
- Supports Neurological Treatment Planning
- Painless & Radiation-Free Procedure
- Useful for Long-Term Brain Monitoring
EEG Test Procedure
- Small electrodes are attached to the scalp using a conductive gel
- Brain electrical activity is recorded during rest or specific activities
- The patient may be asked to breathe deeply or look at flashing lights
- Brain wave patterns are recorded and analyzed by specialists
Preparation for EEG Test
- Wash hair thoroughly before the test
- Avoid applying oil, gel, or hair spray
- Inform the doctor about ongoing medications
- Sleep deprivation may be advised for specific EEG studies
What is an EMG Test?
Electromyography (EMG) is a specialized neurodiagnostic procedure used to evaluate the electrical activity of muscles and the nerves controlling them.
The test helps identify abnormalities in muscle function, nerve transmission, and neuromuscular disorders.
EMG is often performed along with NCV studies for a complete evaluation of muscle and nerve health.
Why is an EMG Test Performed?
EMG testing helps diagnose conditions such as:
- Muscle Weakness & Pain
- Neuromuscular Disorders
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Motor Neuron Disease
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Nerve Compression Syndromes
- Myopathy & Muscle Disorders
- Radiculopathy (Nerve Root Disorders)
Advantages & Clinical Benefits of EMG
- Detailed Assessment of Muscle Function
- Helps Identify Nerve & Muscle Disorders
- Assists in Accurate Neurological Diagnosis
- Supports Treatment Planning & Monitoring
- Minimally Invasive & Reliable Procedure
EMG Test Procedure
- Small needle electrodes are inserted into selected muscles
- Electrical activity of muscles is recorded during rest and movement
- Signals are analyzed to assess muscle and nerve function
- EMG findings are interpreted by neurologists
Mild discomfort may occur during needle insertion, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
