Unresolved acute toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy. A Randomized Treatment Study to Compare the Efficacy of Repeated Nerve Blocks with Cognitive Therapy for Control of Chronic Head and Neck Pain. Dont use electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) to determine the cause of axial lumbar, thoracic or cervical spine pain.

Abnormal cardiac rhythm not controlled with medication, history of stroke, coronary events and/or heart failure within 1 year.

The cervical plexus is a network of nerves which forms from the anterior rami of C1-C4 within the prevertebral fascia in the posterior triangle of the neck.Its branches can loosely be described as sensory of motor components.

Open surgery in the ipsilateral head and neck within 1 year. This section on the nerves of the neck discusses the anatomy of the cervical plexus and the phrenic nerves.

If of childbearing potential, must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test and be using a medically acceptable form of contraception (e.g., hormonal birth control, intrauterine devices, double-barrier method) or abstinence.

Can understand and is willing to sign a written informed consent document. Electromyograms & nerve conductions studies (EMG/NCV) are electrical tests to help diagnose problems that can occur in the peripheral nervous system.After a stimulus to a nerve ending occurs such as a touch receptor in the finger, a normal nerve conducts the signal up its length at a certain set speed. Primary surgical treatment is by parotidectomy, or thyroidectomy, or cervical neck dissection. To understand what the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) tests, you need to understand the physiology of the nerve as it relates to nerve testing.A neoplasm located in the head and neck.Why Should I Register and Submit Results?.
