Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a diagnostic test that measures how quickly and effectively electrical signals travel through your peripheral nerves. It helps detect nerve damage or dysfunction, commonly used to evaluate conditions such as neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, or nerve injuries.The test involves stimulating a nerve with small, safe electric shocks and recording the response with electrode patches on the skin.Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders. It addresses conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. Psychiatrists use a combination of medical, psychological, and social approaches—including therapy, counselling, and medication—to help patients achieve mental well-being and improve quality of life.
