Motor nerve conduction is a noninvasive clinical test used to diagnose nerve problems. Current techniques use a single-site recording over a superficial muscle. But the investigators note that the ...

Nerve conduction studies show how well the body’s electrical signals travel down your nerves. During a nerve conduction study test, providers apply small electrical shocks to your nerve and record how ...

Since 1995 I have had the interesting experience of working as a neurologist in a large state prison whose primary mission is to provide medical care to inmates. A large proportion of my practice ...

To measure each subject’s nerve conduction velocity for their study, researchers Jason DeFreitas (pictured far right) and JoCarol Shields used nerve conduction tests that stimulated the nerves in the ...

"Testing" and "nerve" are not two words that anyone wants to hear in the same sentence, but that is the reality for Detroit Tigers star outfielder Parker Meadows. Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, ...

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have found that subtle change in nerve conduction is the first reliable sign of nerve complications from diabetes and that this change can be measured long ...
