Home Remedies and Self-Care for Neuropathy

Neuropathy Overview

Neuropathy is a nervous system disease or dysfunction apart from the brain and spinal cord that usually causes tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, and pain in the affected area.

Neuropathy can be a complication of other general diseases, such as kidney failure, liver failure, diseases of the immune system, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, etc.

What is Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Test?

The test which measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve is called a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test, which is also known as nerve conduction study (NCS). If there is any nerve damage, it can be identified by NCV. It is done in pathology labs.

Outside of your brain and along your spinal cord, your peripheral nerves are located. To control your muscles and experience the senses, you get help from these nerves. Electric signals are sent more quickly and with greater strength by healthy nerves in comparison to damaged nerves. In differentiating between an injury to the nerve fibre and an injury to the myelin sheath, which is the protective covering surrounding the nerve, the doctor gets help from the NYC test. The difference between a nerve disorder and a condition where a nerve injury has affected the muscles can be found by your doctor with the help of it.
