A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a test of how well the nerves carry their electrical signals. Surface electrodes are placed on the skin over a nerve, a mild electrical pulse stimulates it, and other electrodes record the response, measuring the strength and speed of the signal. It is usually done alongside an EMG to check the nerves and muscles together. People with CMT often undergo nerve conduction studies, because the results help show whether a neuropathy is demyelinating or axonal.
When Medicine Lost Its Compass
Evidence failed not because it was wrong, but because it was weaponized. I lived the downstream effects of that failure for more than a decade. This is what happens when medicine forgets that data always ends in a human being.
