Nerve Conduction Studies Clinical Solutions

Identify nerve disorders with NCS

Cadwell’s easy-to-use Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) solution can help you identify nerve injury or disease when a patient presents with muscle pain, cramping, tingling, or weakness. NCS is often used in conjunction with Electromyography (EMG) testing and Neuromuscular Ultrasound (NMUS).

Sierra NCS+ Protocol

Sierra 4 software offers NCS+, a protocol with unique and intuitive features designed to reduce NCS exam times, improve accuracy, and expand your clinical capabilities. Help improve patient comfort by simultaneously collecting sensory, motor, and F-Wave responses from the same stimulation. Fully featured RNS, Blink, MEP, and TST protocols are also included as part of the NCS+ protocol.

Common Indications for NCS

NCS may be used to find the cause of symptoms, such as numbness, tingling, and continuous pain, and to help identify and diagnose the following diseases and conditions:

• Nerve problems, including carpal tunnel and herniated discs
• Neuromuscular diseases, including muscular dystrophy
• Pinched nerves and nerve injuries, including sciatic nerve issues
• Herniated disk disease
• Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy and neuropathy
• Guillain-Barré syndrome
