The test evaluat During the test, small electrodes are placed on the skin over the nerve being testedes the function of the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. NCV is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, herniated discs, and nerve damage due to injury or diseases like diabetes.
