Nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are essential diagnostic tools for evaluating peripheral nerve function. The influence of gender on nerve conduction parameters, such as conduction velocity, latency, and amplitude, remains a topic of interest. Previous studies have suggested gender differences in nerve conduction but have not provided definitive conclusions.
This study aims to compare the nerve conduction parameters of the upper limb nerves (median, ulnar, and radial) in healthy male and female adults.
A total of 100 healthy adults (50 males and 50 females) were selected for this study. NCSs were performed on the median, ulnar, and radial nerves, measuring parameters including conduction velocity, latency, and amplitude.
The male group exhibited significantly faster conduction velocities, shorter latencies, and higher amplitudes compared to the female group. The median nerve showed the most pronounced gender differences in conduction velocity.
Gender differences in nerve conduction parameters were evident, with males showing faster conduction and higher amplitude. These differences should be considered in clinical practice to improve the accuracy of NCSs and diagnosis.
神经传导研究（NCSs）是评估周围神经功能的重要诊断工具。性别对神经传导参数（如传导速度、潜伏期和波幅）的影响仍是一个备受关注的话题。以往研究表明神经传导存在性别差异，但尚未得出明确结论。
本研究旨在比较健康成年男性和女性上肢神经（正中神经、尺神经和桡神经）的神经传导参数。
本研究共选取100名健康成年人（50名男性和50名女性）。对正中神经、尺神经和桡神经进行神经传导研究，测量包括传导速度、潜伏期和波幅在内的参数。
与女性组相比，男性组的传导速度明显更快，潜伏期更短，波幅更高。正中神经在传导速度方面表现出最明显的性别差异。
神经传导参数存在性别差异，男性的传导速度更快，波幅更高。在临床实践中应考虑这些差异，以提高神经传导研究和诊断的准确性。
