It is important to determine the cause of the neuropathy as quickly as possible to reduce the risk for permanent nerve damage. Diagnosis involves physical and neurological examination, nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV), and electromyography (EMG).

Nerve conduction velocity studies record the speed at which impulses travel through nerves and measure electrical responses. EMG records electrical activity in muscle tissue and is used to distinguish neuropathy from muscle dise...Read the full article
