So far, apart from a limited number of case reports and small-scale studies, the frequency and severity of this complication have not been objectively evaluated using electromyography (EMG). In this study, presence, severity, and extent of nerve injury (one of the potential complications following the transradial approach (TRA)) were evaluated by EMG studies in patients managed at Bursa City Hospital.
Evaluation of peripheral nerve injury after transradial angiography with nerve conduction studies.

median ulnar and radial motor- sensory nerve conduction studies will be performed.
Nerve conduction studies (NCS)
NCS (Nerve conduction study) findings obtained after radial intervention A NCS test measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve. NCS can identify nerve damage. During the test, your nerve is stimulated, often with electrode patches put on your skin. Two electrodes are placed on the skin over your nerve or over a muscle. One electrode stimulates your nerve with a very mild electrical impulse. The other electrode records it. The resulting electrical activity is recorded by another electrode. This is repeated for each nerve being tested. After test below values are obtained; * Velocity (meter/second), * Action potential amplitude (miliVolt) * Onset latans (milisecond)
