In this test, small electrodes are placed on the skin over the nerve that is being tested. A mild electrical impulse is then applied to stimulate the nerve. The electrodes record how quickly and efficiently the electrical signal travels through the nerve to a muscle or another part of the nerve. The time it takes for the signal to travel and the strength of the signal are measured and compared to normal values.
