What Does NCV Stand For?

NCV stands for Nerve Conduction Velocity

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) is a diagnostic test that measures the speed at which electrical signals travel through peripheral nerves. It is commonly used to evaluate nerve function and to diagnose conditions such as neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other nerve-related disorders. By assessing the conduction speed, clinicians can identify nerve damage or dysfunction, guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies.
