Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) Test for families from Adoni
Measures how well electrical signals travel through your child's nerves.
A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) sends small electrical pulses through the skin and measures how nerves respond. It helps diagnose neuropathies, GBS, hereditary neuromuscular diseases, and nerve injuries - and is often paired with EMG.

How to prepare your child
How results are used
Diagnostic results are interpreted in correlation with clinical history, developmental timeline, and symptoms. A diagnostic report by itself does not confirm a complete care plan.
Why specialist interpretation matters
Interpretation by a DM-trained Pediatric Neurologist ensures subtle anomalies are identified accurately, preventing misdiagnosis of non-epileptic mimics.
Where is the test available?
The equipment is located in our Kurnool clinic. We coordinate schedules for families from Adoni to complete tests and receive reports on the same day.

Q. What is the cost of an NCS test, and is it painful?
NCS pricing is competitive and depends on the number of limbs/nerves evaluated. The test causes a mild tingling or buzzing sensation, which is entirely safe and well-tolerated by children.
