Overview:
Nerves control the muscles in the body through electrical signals and this impulse makes the muscles react in specific ways. NCS or Nerve Conduction Study is a non-invasive test which measures how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals. Consult the top neurologists in Bangalore if you are looking for a nerve conduction study.
