Talk:Nerve conduction study

message: I got five minutes into an NCV test and told the examiner to stop.  She said, "We're not here to cause you more pain than you already have."  I replied, "Too late."
I don't care what web sites tell you about it's not painful; because it's f**king painful.  Half a milliamp might not sound like much, but give it about 10kV and it'll get your attention RIGHT NOW.  At first, it was probably more startling than painful.  But as the electrode went from my wrist to the inside of my elbow, it became pure pain.  Don't let anyone tell you this test "may cause mild discomfort" -- that is medical doublespeak.

replies: text: I've been told that it depends on the skill of the examiner.  Perhaps you would have had a better experience in someone else's hands.  One family member said he's had it done two or three times; the middle-aged physician who did the first or second time was apparently horrible.  The just-out-of-med-school newbie didn't bother him nearly as much.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Spend an afternoon in a NCV lab and you will see there is a large variation in how painful the test is to different people. The skill of the examiner doesn't play that much a role except in how many times they have to shock you to get an adequate reading.  --Gccwang (talk) 23:24, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  small pain fiber study? 

message: There is a separate wikipedia article entitled electroneuronography, which is the same procedure as nerve conduction study, just under a different name. As is evident by the content of the ENoG page, this is the term most commonly used for the nerve conduction study of the facial nerve, and in my experience is more commonly used by ENT specialists than by neurologists or PM&R specialists. I would propose that ENoG content be merged into this article, as I believe nerve conduction study to be the more common term used. Please provide input. Thanks.

replies: text: Oppose merge As you mentioned, ENoG is used more commonly by ENT specialists, and is a distinct test used only on the facial nerve. It should have its own article that discusses the procedure, measurements, and interpretation; they are not the same as for a NCV.  We can have a brief section on ENoG on the NCV article, but with a redirect to electroneuronography as the main article.  --Gccwang (talk) 19:43, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
