How Nerve Conduction Studies Work

Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrical pulses stimulate specific nerves while surface electrodes record the response. This objective test identifies where nerves are compressed, damaged, or not functioning properly.

The test is performed by our neurologist with professional technician support, using computer-aided technology to accurately measure nerve responses. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable tapping or twitching, similar to a strong TENS unit.

What Happens During Your Visit

From arrival to leaving with results, here's what to expect at your appointment

1

Initial Discussion

Our neurologist reviews your symptoms, medical history, and examines the affected areas. We discuss your concerns and what you've been experiencing to guide the testing.

2

Nerve Conduction Testing (20-30 minutes)

Surface electrodes are placed on your skin. Small electrical pulses stimulate nerves at specific points while we record how the signal travels. Testing focuses on areas related to your symptoms—hands and arms for carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel, feet and legs for neuropathy or foot drop.

3

EMG Testing (If Required)

Not all patients need EMG (electromyography). When needed, a very fine needle (thinner than a blood draw needle) is used to assess muscle health. This helps distinguish nerve compression from other conditions and evaluates if there's muscle damage.

4

Immediate Results Discussion

You receive your results right away. Our neurologist explains what was found, the diagnosis, severity of any nerve compression or damage, and discusses treatment options. No waiting weeks wondering what's wrong.

5

Report to Your Doctor

A comprehensive written report with findings and recommendations is sent to your referring doctor (and any other doctors you specify) by that evening. This ensures prompt treatment planning with your healthcare team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does nerve conduction testing hurt? +
Most patients describe the nerve conduction test as tolerable rather than painful. You'll feel brief electrical pulses that create a tapping sensation and may cause muscles to twitch. It's similar to a strong TENS unit. The discomfort is temporary with no lasting effects. EMG (if needed) uses very fine needles and is generally well-tolerated.
How long does the test take? +
Most nerve conduction studies take 20-40 minutes depending on which nerves need testing. Including the initial discussion and results explanation, expect to be at the clinic for approximately 45-60 minutes total. You receive results immediately—no waiting weeks.
Do I need a referral? +
Yes, a referral from your GP or specialist is required for Medicare rebates on nerve conduction studies. If you don't have a referral, contact your doctor to request one. The referral should mention your symptoms (e.g., numb hands, burning feet, nerve pain).
How much does nerve conduction testing cost? +
The exact cost depends on how extensive your specific test needs to be. We cannot bulk bill, but we process your Medicare claim directly for you at the time of your appointment. You'll receive a Medicare rebate, and we'll discuss any out-of-pocket costs when you book.
How should I prepare for the test? +
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs. Remove rings, bracelets, and watches before the test. Try to keep the areas being tested warm, as cold can affect nerve conduction measurements. Continue all regular medications—they don't interfere with testing.
How soon can I get an appointment? +
We offer testing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 8:30AM-4PM with minimal wait times. Most other Sydney practices have 4-6 week waiting lists. We understand nerve symptoms are concerning and work to see you quickly. Book online or call us at 02 9388 0615.
What happens after the test? +
You can resume normal activities immediately—there are no restrictions after nerve conduction testing. Your neurologist provides immediate recommendations which may include conservative management (splinting, medication, activity modification) or referral to specialists if surgery is needed. Your referring doctor receives the detailed report the same day to coordinate your ongoing care.
