What happens in a Nerve Conduction Study?

This video by the What? Why? Children in Hospital charity shows what happens when your child needs to have a Nerve Conduction Study in hospital. The doctor uses electrodes, gel and electrical stimulation to test if your child's nerves are working properly. This video will help families prepare for a Nerve Conduction Study. Parents could show this video to their child before their appointment to help them understand what is going to happen in hospital.

This video was developed in partnership with the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.
