Different nerves have different normal conduction velocities. Sensory nerves allow the brain to feel pain, touch, temperature, and vibration. NCV: The nerve conduction studies show that the nerves send electrical impulses to the muscles or along the sensory nerves at normal speeds, or conduction velocities. There is a smooth, wavy line on the recording with each muscle contraction.

Your primary care doctor, or the doctor who ordered the EMG, will discuss the full report with you at a follow- up appointment.ĮMG: The EMG recording shows no electrical activity when the muscle is at rest. Your doctor may be able to tell you about some of the results of your nerve studies right after the tests.
