Abstract
Nerve and muscle problems cause muscles to react in abnormal ways. During leg pain or numbness tests are carried out to know how much nerves are affected, how well nerves in arms and legs are working. Nerve conduction (NC) study is done to find the above damage to peripheral nervous system. An electromyogram measures electrical activity of muscle at rest and during contraction Impulses make the muscles react in specific ways. NC studies measure how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals. Nerves control muscles in the body with electrical signals called impulses. These tests are often used to find nerve problems such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS is a rare but serious autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks healthy nerve cells in peripheral nervous system. In Ayurved Lakshanas of Vata vyadhi – Sarvangaghat such as weakness, numbness, tingling sensation can be correlate with GBS.
