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 ...

This week we are going to discuss a diagnostic test which is often ordered to differentiate between diseases of the nerve and muscle, as well as the nerve itself and the myelin sheath of the nerve. A ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects the peripheral nerves. Tests to diagnose this condition include nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and sometimes an MRI. CIDP ...

An inability to distinguish between CIDP and POEMS syndrome can negatively affect treatment strategies and outcomes. A 2-step protocol using conduction block and maximum/minimum cross-sectional area ...

A rabbit sensitized with myelin lipid galactocerebroside develops autoimmune demyelinating polyneuropathy. The nerve conduction study was performed prior to sensitization (a) and at the peak of limb ...
