I taksa pengte chu a hring tawh em? Nerve Conduction Study chungchang hi i zir dawn teh ang!

I kut emaw, i ke emaw-ah hian a chang chuan tingling sensation i nei thin em? I kut zungtangte chu a chang chuan a hring chhuak ang maiin a awm em? Vawiin hian doctor-te’n i nervous system-a harsatna a awm leh awm loh hriat nan an hman thin special test kan sawi dawn a ni. Hei hi Nerve Conduction Study, a tawi zawngin NCS test an ti a.

A awlsam zawngin sawi ila, he neurological test (NCS) hi eng nge ni?

Kan taksa chhunga nerve te hi electrical wire angin ngaihtuah rawh. Heng wire te hi thluak atanga electrical signal kan taksa peng hrang hranga kalna hmun a ni a, thluak hnenah kan thil hriat (hot, cold) te min hrilh a, kan taksa peng hrang hrangte chu kan duh angin kan kal tir thin. NCS test hi heng electrical wire, a nih loh leh nerve te hnathawh dan tehna a ni.

Hei hian i peripheral nerves dinhmun a en ber a ni . Chu chu thluak leh ruhro (spinal cord) an tih main system pawn lama taksa pum puia inzar pharh nerve network tihna a ni. He test hian electrical signal pakhat chu nerve pakhata a kal chak dan leh chu signal chu engtiang chiahin nge a chak tih a teh a ni.

Hei hian eng nerve nge a zawn tih hi han en ila:

• Motor Nerves: Heng nerve te hi kan taksa ruh (muscles) control tu leh kan che vel tura min puitu nerve te an ni. Entirnan, i kut i chawi sang duh hian heng nerve te hian i thluak atanga thuchah chu i kut ruh thlengin an phur a.
• Sensory Nerves: Heng nerve te hian kan thil hriat, khawih, natna, leh lumna te chu thluak lamah a phur a. Thil lum i khawih chuan heng sensory nerve te hian thluak hi an hriattir nghal vat thin.

I kut, kut emaw, i ke kephah emawa natna lan chhuahna, rilru hahna, emaw chak lohna emaw i neih chuan i doctor chuan he test hi a ti ang. He NCS test hi test dang EMG (Electromyography) tih nen tih a ni tlangpui. Chumi chungchang chu nakinah kan sawi leh ang.

NCS test hmang hian eng natna nge hriat theih?

He test hian nerve chhiatna leh nerve compression a hmuchhuak ber a ni. Heng dinhmunte hi eng nge ni a, eng thilin nge a thlen tih hi han en ila.

1. Peripheral Neuropathy natna a awm thei

Hei hi taksa pum puia peripheral nerves tihchhiat vang a ni. Hei hi chhan tam tak a awm thei.

2. Nerve Compression Syndrome awm thei te

Hei hi taksa hmun dangah ruh, thau emaw, tissue dang emaw inkara nerve a inhnawh khawm hian a thleng thin.

Hei hi entirnan thenkhat chu hetiang hi a ni:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Computer emaw type-a hun rei tak thawk emaw, type emaw a awm fo thin. Hei hi wrist kal tlanga nerve compression vang a ni a, chu chuan thumb, index finger, leh middle finger-ah a ti na a, a na bawk.
• Sciatica: Hnunglam atanga ke hnuai lam pan, nerve lian tak compression avanga natna nasa tak leh ke hnuai lam atanga chhuak, natna nasa tak leh rilru hahna a thlen thin.

NCS leh EMG test hi eng nge a danglamna?

A tam zawkah chuan heng test pahnih hi tih dun a ni. Mahse heng test pahnih hian thil pahnih a en a.

A awlsam zawngin, .

• NCS test hian ‘current’ chu nerve an tih ‘wire’ zawhah engtiang chiahin nge a luang chak a, engtiang chiahin nge a luang chak tih a en thin.
• EMG test hian chu nerve nena inzawm muscle chuan current a kal hnua a chhan dan a en a, chu chu a contract tha em em tihna a ni.

Heng test pahnih hi tih dun hian i doctor chuan i symptoms te hi nerve problem vang nge muscle problem vang tih chiang takin a hre thei ang.

He test atan hian engtin nge ka inbuatsaih ang?

Hei hian inbuatsaihna tam tak a mamawh lo a, mahse hengte hi i rilruah vawng reng ang che.

• Test tura i lo kal hmain shower tha tak la rawh . Thianghlim taka awm a pawimawh.
• Test ni hian i taksa peng hrang hrangah cream, lotion, powder , leh oil engmah hnawih suh. Hengte hi vunah dah hian test dikna a nghawng thei a ni.
• Thawmhnaw nuam leh hlim lo tak ha chungin lo kal rawh .
• I taksaah pacemaker emaw electronic device dang emaw i dah a nih chuan test hmain doctor hnenah i hrilh hmasa tur a ni.

Test neih chhung hian eng nge thleng? Hlauh tur a awm em?

Mi tam tak chuan he test hi an hlau deuh a, a chhan chu ‘current’ pek a tel vang a ni. Mahse, hlauh tur a awm tak tak lo.

Test neih chhunga step by step khata thil thleng chu hetiang hi a ni:

1. Chair-ah emaw, khumah mu turin emaw siam i ni ang.

2. Tichuan, doctor emaw technician emaw chuan i vun chunglam, test tur nerve awmna hmunah chuan sticker ang chi thil te te electrode an tih te chu a bun ang.

3. Tichuan, electrode pakhat atang chuan electrical pulse te tak te, nem tak chu nerve ah a rawn thleng a.

4. Hei hi electric current te tak te ang maiin kan hria a, a chang chuan thawmhnaw kan inbel hian a ‘tickle’ thin. Mi thenkhat chuan tickle tlemte angin an hria. Hei hi a pawi lo.A tirah chuan jolt tlem a awm a, mahse second khat pawh a tling lo.

5. He electrical signal hi nerve zawh ruala a kal zel chuan electrode dangte chuan a kal chak zia an teh thin.

6. Chutiang chuan nerve hmun engemaw zatah electrical pulse te tak te pek a ni a, data lakkhawm a ni.

Hetiang zawng zawng hi minute 15 atanga darkar khat vel a ni thei a, chu chu nerve test zat a zirin a ni.

Test result chungchanga hriat tur awmte (Report) .

Test i lak atanga darkar 24-48 chhungin i result report i hmu thei tlangpui.

Mahse hriat reng tur pawimawh ber chu he NCS report hi puzzle pakhat chauh a ni. I doctor hian he report atang chauh hian thutlukna a siam lo. I natna lan chhuah dan te, i damdawi lam dinhmun dang te, leh test dang tih tawh zawng zawng result te chu a ngaihtuah ang a, i dinhmun dik tak a hriat theih nan leh i enkawl dan tur a ruahman ang.

Chuvangin report i dawn hnuah i doctor nen inbia a, a hnen atanga hrilhfiahna lak a pawimawh hle.
