Key facts
- Sensory nerve conduction panel Nerve
- Sensory nerve conduction panel
- This panel contains the collection of terms that would be used to report results for additional nerves studied during the sensory part of a nerve conduction study (NCS). The most commonly studied sensory nerves have their own panels (radial, median, ulnar, medial antebrachial cutaneous, lateral antebrachial cutaneous, and sural). This panel should be repeated for each stimulation and recording site combination for each additional nerve that is studied.
