Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) & Electromyography (EMG)
Neurology / Diagnostic Testing
The NCV & EMG Package at BPK9 International Hospital provides advanced diagnostic testing to evaluate nerve and muscle health. Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) measures how fast electrical signals travel through nerves, helping detect nerve damage or compression. Electromyography (EMG) assesses muscle electrical activity to determine whether symptoms are caused by muscle disorders or nerve-related issues. Together, these tests allow precise diagnosis of conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve injuries, and neuromuscular disorders. The procedures are safe, minimally uncomfortable, and performed on an outpatient basis, typically completed within 45–90 minutes.
