NCV Test in Delhi
Nerve conduction study for numbness, tingling and weakness. List price from ₹ 3,000 for a single limb. Send us your prescription on WhatsApp for today’s exact rate.
NCV Test: Meaning, Procedure, Cost, Benefits & Results
Are you experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands and feet? These could be signs of nerve-related problems. To diagnose such conditions, doctors often recommend an NCV Test. NCV stands for Nerve Conduction Velocity Test, a simple, safe, and effective diagnostic tool to check how well your nerves are working.
In this Edge Imaging blog, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the NCV test – from its meaning and procedure to cost, benefits, and FAQs.
NCV test in Delhi: the short answer
An NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) test, also called a nerve conduction study (NCS), measures how fast electrical signals travel along your nerves. Doctors advise it for numbness, tingling, weakness or burning pain — for example in carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy or sciatica.
At Edge Imaging & Diagnostics, West Delhi, our list price is ₹3,000 for a single limb, ₹5,000 for both lower limbs, ₹6,000 for both upper limbs and ₹9,600 for all four limbs. EMG, if your doctor adds it, is ₹5,000. The test takes 30–60 minutes, is not painful (you feel only a mild tingling) and the report is ready the same day.

What is an NCV Test?
The NCV Test (Nerve Conduction Velocity Test) is a medical test used to measure how quickly electrical signals move through your nerves. Healthy nerves send signals rapidly, while damaged or compressed nerves conduct signals slowly.
In simple words, the NCV test helps doctors understand whether your nerves are healthy, irritated, or damaged.
Difference between NCV and EMG:
-
NCV Test: Measures speed and strength of signals in nerves.
-
EMG (Electromyography): Measures electrical activity in muscles.
Both tests are often performed together for accurate results.
Why is the NCV Test Done?
Doctors may recommend an NCV test if you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning pain. It helps in diagnosing:
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (wrist nerve compression)
-
Peripheral Neuropathy (commonly due to diabetes, vitamin deficiency, or alcohol)
-
Herniated Disc or Sciatica
-
Nerve Injuries due to accidents or trauma
-
Guillain-Barré Syndrome and other neurological disorders
How Does the NCV Test Work?
During the test:
-
Small electrodes are placed on your skin.
-
A mild electrical impulse is sent through the nerve.
-
The machine records how fast and strong the signals travel.
-
Normal Results: Signals travel at normal speed, meaning nerves are healthy.
-
Abnormal Results: Delayed or weak signals suggest nerve damage or disease.
Preparation for the NCV Test
Before undergoing the test, keep these tips in mind:
-
Avoid using lotions, creams, or oils on your skin.
-
Wear loose and comfortable clothing.
-
Inform your doctor if you are taking any medications.
-
Avoid caffeine or nicotine before the test if recommended.
Step-by-Step Procedure
-
You’ll lie down or sit comfortably.
-
Electrodes are attached to the skin over the nerve pathway.
-
A mild electrical current is passed through the nerve.
-
The response is recorded on a monitor.
-
The test usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of nerves tested.
Is the NCV Test Painful?
The NCV test is not painful, but you may feel a mild tingling or twitching sensation when the electrical impulse is delivered. Most patients tolerate it easily, and it is considered a very safe procedure.
Benefits of NCV Test
✔ Quick and non-invasive
✔ Helps detect exact location and extent of nerve damage
✔ Assists in early diagnosis for better treatment
✔ Useful in monitoring progress of nerve recovery
Risks and Limitations
-
The NCV test is very safe with minimal risks (slight skin irritation at electrode site in rare cases).
-
It may not detect all types of nerve or muscle disorders. In such cases, doctors may suggest additional tests like EMG or MRI.
NCV Test Cost in India
The cost of an NCV test in India generally ranges between ₹1,500 – ₹5,000, depending on:
-
City and diagnostic center
-
Number of nerves tested
-
Whether EMG is also performed
Some insurance plans may cover the test if it’s prescribed by a neurologist.
