What is a FACIAL NCV & EMG?

Facial Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) and Electromyography (EMG) are diagnostic tests that evaluate the function of the facial nerves and the muscles they control. By measuring nerve signal transmission and muscle electrical activity, these tests help neurologists diagnose facial weakness, nerve damage, paralysis, and other disorders affecting facial movement and expression.
