Nerve Conduction Studies
Answer 5 quick questions to find out if you’re suitable for a Nerve Conduction Study at Haven Medical — and book your test today.
Is a Nerve Conduction Study right for you?
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) help diagnose and manage Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. Before booking your test, please answer the short screening questions below to confirm your symptoms are consistent with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
These fingers are supplied by the median nerve — the nerve affected in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Symptoms in the ring and little finger suggest a different diagnosis.
Night-time symptoms are a hallmark of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, as fluid redistribution increases pressure in the wrist when lying down.
Sustained wrist positions — such as holding a phone or a steering wheel — increase pressure on the median nerve and commonly trigger symptoms.
Shaking or "flicking" the hand is known as the flick sign — a classic indicator of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that helps relieve pressure on the median nerve temporarily.
Weakness and poor grip can indicate that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has progressed and is affecting the muscles supplied by the median nerve.
Your symptoms are consistent with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A Nerve Conduction Study at Haven Medical will confirm the diagnosis, assess the severity, and help guide the most appropriate treatment.
Based on your answers, your symptoms may not be consistent with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We'd recommend speaking with one of our private GPs first, who can assess your symptoms and recommend the right investigation for you.
