Nerve conduction studies are tests that measure how well your nerves are working. In 11-12 studies, small electrodes are placed on your skin to send and receive electrical signals. These signals show how quickly and effectively your nerves are transmitting signals, helping to identify any nerve damage or dysfunction.

This procedure, known as electromyography, involves inserting a fine needle into a muscle in your head or trunk to record its electrical activity. It helps identify problems related to muscles or nerves controlling these muscles. It's a safe, valuable tool for diagnosing various conditions.

Nerve conduction studies involve testing the speed and strength of signals traveling through your nerves. This helps doctors identify nerve damage. In a 7-8 study procedure, 7-8 specific nerves are tested. You may feel a mild, brief tingling or shock during the test.
