The gold standard means it is the test or tests that all other tests are compared to. It is what is prefered or the "best test". Getting both a NCS and EMG for diagnosing CTS is the gold standard.

What is the maximum number of sensory nerve conduction studies recommended to diagnose a condition of bilateral carpel tunnel syndrome?
You should really only need one test if done correctly. The gold standard is a Nerve conduction study WITH an EMG study. Now if it has been several yrs since your last test, then yes your doctor may want to test you again to see where you are at in your condition.
What is the medical term meaning study of nerve disease?
Neuropathology is the study of nerve disease.
What is the study of the nerve called?
neurology
What does no response mean in an EMG test?
"No Response," or NR, generally occurs during the nerve conduction portion of an electrodiagnsotic examination (often called an EMG). When performing a nerve conduction study an electrical impulse is transmitted through a nerve and recorded at a point distant to that point of stimulation. Normally when this impulse is recorded as a waveform that is produced on the screen for the electromyographer to evaluate. An NR occurs when a waveform cannot be elicited with an electrical impulse. This finding suggests that the nerve being tested has suffered loss of function of some or all of its axons. This does not mean that the nerve being studied is completely dead, but it does suggest significant loss of function in that particular nerve. This "NR" finding may also may be the result of a technical error on the part of the electromyographer.
Is neurectomy the study of the ends of a severed nerve?
Neurectomy is surgical removal of a nerve
What is the difference between emitter and conductor?
A: BIG DIFFERENCE emitting is the study of electronics conduction is the study of current flow
What stimulus would you use to study nerve physiology?
The stimulus that you would use to study nerve physiology would be internal and external stimulus to the body. The study of the nervous system would help in analyzing the human anatomy.
Is the Carpal tunnel nerve conduction velocity test painful?
It can be, about 10-20% of patients will describe it as a discomfort, or electrical stinging sensation. There are two types of test you should be getting; one is a nerve conduction study and the second is an EMG. An EMG is where the provider uses very small needles that are inserted into the muscles of the arms and sends small electrical impulses to test certain nerves in the upper extremities. No there is just about nothing too it. Had the test done on both hands and hardly remember having it done other then paying the doctor.
What muscle and nerve will you need to isolate to study the physiology of nerve fibers?
To study the physiology of nerve fibers, you would need to isolate a specific muscle and the nerve innervating that muscle. This allows for the investigation of the interaction between the nerve and muscle, observing the transmission of signals and studying the response of the muscle to nerve stimulation. Commonly studied muscles and nerves in this context include the gastrocnemius muscle and the sciatic nerve in animal models.

What is the medical term meaning study of nerve impulses?
Neurology, or neuroscience.
