Label
Decreased nerve conduction velocity
Synonyms
- Decreased NCV
- Decreased nerve conduction velocities
- Delayed nerve conduction velocity
- Reduced nerve conduction velocities
- Slow nerve conduction velocity
- Slowed nerve conduction velocities
comment
Nerve conduction velocity is usually measured with surface electrodes placed on the skin over nerves at various locations. Following stimulation at one electrode, the speed at which the signal is propagated to other electrodes is recorded. Abnormal values may suggest demyelination, a conduction block, or axonopathy.
