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.

0
Which hand or hands are affected?
1
Do you experience numbness and tingling, particularly in your thumb, index finger and middle finger?

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.

2
Do your symptoms trouble you at night — do they wake you from sleep?

Night-time symptoms are a hallmark of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, as fluid redistribution increases pressure in the wrist when lying down.

3
Do your symptoms occur when holding your phone or when driving?

Sustained wrist positions — such as holding a phone or a steering wheel — increase pressure on the median nerve and commonly trigger symptoms.

4
Does shaking your hand provide some relief from your 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.

5
Does your grip feel weak? Do you have difficulty buttoning clothes, holding objects, or do you sometimes drop things?

Weakness and poor grip can indicate that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has progressed and is affecting the muscles supplied by the median nerve.
