Our neurological diagnostics offer the most modern methods for examining and treating diseases of the nervous system. One of these examination methods is electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity measurement (NCV), which is used to measure the functionality of nerves and muscles.
Electromyography is a procedure that measures the electrical activity of muscles. A needle is inserted into the muscle and connected to a measuring device. The patient is then asked to perform certain movements to measure the activity of the muscle. With this procedure we can detect nerve damage, muscle disorders and diseases of the nervous system.
Nerve conduction velocity measurement is used to measure the speed and quality of the signals that flow from the nerves to the brain and back. Electrodes are placed at certain points on the body and electrical impulses are used to measure the speed and quality of the nerve conduction. With this procedure we can detect nerve damage and diseases of the nervous system.
Performing EMG and NV is simple and painless. The results provide important information about the functionality of nerves and muscles and can help in the diagnosis of neurological diseases such as peripheral neuropathies, muscle diseases or herniated discs.
