    What is a nerve conduction velocity test? A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve. NCV can identify nerve damage. This test is also called a nerve conduction study.

    A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test, also called a nerve conduction study, detects nerve damage. It measures the speed and strength of electrical impulses as they move down a nerve. If the nerve is damaged or blocked, the electrical conduction will slow or weaken its transmission.

    The speed of the muscle response is called the conduction velocity. A nerve conduction test may take from 15 minutes to over an hour. The length of time depends on how many nerves and muscles are tested. If you are having both tests, the nerve conduction study will be done first.
