Diabetic Neuropathies: The Nerve Damage of Diabetes
www.mirecc.va.govNerve conduction studies or electromyography are sometimes used to help determine the type and extent of nerve damage. Nerve conduction studies check the transmission of electrical current through a nerve. Electromyography shows how well muscles respond to electrical signals transmitted by nearby nerves.

Clinical Features and Electrodiagnosis of Ulnar Neuropathies
depts.washington.eduPrecise localization of the ulnar nerve below and above the elbow with submaximal stimulations improves accuracy of the distance measurement. The factors that can lead to spuriously low nerve conduction velocity (NCV) across the elbow include a cold elbow and falsely low distance measurements.

Clinically, the order of loss of nerve function is as follows: (1) pain, (2) temperature, (3) touch, (4) proprioception, and (5) skeletal muscle tone. Systemic absorption of local anesthetics produces effects on the cardiovascular and central nervous systems (CNS).
