Abstract

Background: Nerve conduction study (NCS) is developing as an important measuring device for confirmation of neurological disorders. The present study was conducted to assess nerve conduction velocities in radiologic technologists’ workers of a tertiary care hospital.
Material and methods: The current study was conducted to assess nerve conduction velocities in radiologic technologists’ workers of K.D. Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. 50 radiotechnologists with age between 30 and 60 years old were recruited. The selected cases were compared with another group of 50 healthy participants.NCS – in all subjects, NCS was performed by computerised RMS EMG EP Mark-II machine. Statistical analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics using Student’s unpaired t-test to compare between cases and controls. 
Results: The NCV of motor nerves among cases and control subjects in all the examined motor nerves, namely, median (cases –55.62±5.04m/s and controls –58.45±3.24m/s; P = 0.001), ulnar (cases –57.44±5.78m/s and controls –61.56±8.89m/s; P = 0.02), radial (cases –54.30±7.98m/s and controls –59.54±7.85m/s; P < 0.001), common peroneal (cases –46.78±5.43m/s and controls –51.67±5.56m/s; P < 0.001) and tibial nerves (cases –45.43±5.12m/s and controls –46.67±5.68m/s; P = 0.004) was statistically significant, where cases had significantly reduced conduction velocity compared to control subjects. The NCV of sensory nerves among cases and control subjects in all the examined sensory nerves, namely, median (cases –53.65±7.87m/s and controls –55.78±5.65m/s; P < 0.001), ulnar (cases 51.35±5.34–m/s and controls –58.91±6.56m/s; P < 0.001) and radial nerves (cases –55.54±9.68m/s and controls –64.86±9.89m/s; P< 0.001) was statistically significant, where cases had significantly reduced conduction velocity compared to control subjects.
Conclusion: The present study concluded thatthe NCV of motor nerves cases had significantly reduced conduction velocity compared to control subjects.The NCV of sensory nerves cases had significantly reduced conduction velocity compared to control subjects.
