Nerve conduction velocity test: An electrical test used to detect nerve conditions. In the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test, the nerve is electrically stimulated by one electrode while other electrodes detect the electrical impulse down stream from the first electrode.The NCV test is usually done with surface patch electrodes similar to those used for an EKG (electrocardiogram).The patch electrodes are placed on the skin over the nerve at various locations. One electrode stimulates the nerve with a very mild electrical impulse. decreased speed of nerve conduction indicates nerve disease. The NCV test is often done at the same time as an electromyogram (EMG) in order to exclude or detect both nerve and muscle conditions. The interpretation of an abnormal NCV test depends on why the test was done in the first place.
