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.

What is nerve conduction velocity test?
A nerve conduction velocity test is a medical procedure used to assess how quickly electrical impulses travel through nerves. It helps diagnose conditions that affect the nervous system, such as nerve damage, neuropathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome, by measuring the speed of nerve signals. The test involves placing electrodes on the skin to stimulate the nerve and recording the response to determine the speed of conduction.
What is a Nerve conduction velocity test?
A nerve conduction velocity test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function of nerves by measuring how quickly electrical impulses travel along them. It is commonly used to diagnose nerve damage or disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathy.
What do nerve conduction velocity studies?
Nerve conduction velocity studies are diagnostic tests that measure the speed at which electrical impulses travel along nerves. They help to evaluate nerve damage, identify specific nerve disorders, and determine the extent and location of nerve injury. These tests are commonly used to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve injuries.
