Nerve conduction studies are valuable in the search of lesions of the myelin sheaths of peripheral nerves. They help both localizing and discriminating between different forms of such lesions. Combined with electromyography, nerve conduction studies substantially contribute to the assessment of the axons of peripheral nerves. There are typical patterns of neurophysiological findings in both hereditary and acquired myelin lesions, conduction block, during the course of Wallerian degeneration and, upon repetitive nerve stimulation, in disorders of the neuromuscular junction. Indeed, most of these findings are not specific for a particular cause of peripheral nerve damage, but have to be seen in the context of clinical information. The procedure of recording as well as the interpretation of findings is prone to some typical pitfalls. Good knowledge about these pitfalls is mandatory to avoid compromise of the high clinical value of the method.
