Pleximetry is a medical term used to describe the evaluation of a patient's nerve function through the use of pressure applied to specific nerve areas. Some synonyms for pleximetry include nerve pressure testing, nerve function testing, and tactile pressure assessment. These terms are often used interchangeably by healthcare professionals when discussing this type of evaluation. Other related terms include nerve conduction studies, electromyography (EMG), and nerve biopsy, all of which are more invasive tests used to assess the health and function of nerves in the body. Whether using pleximetry or any of these other techniques, nerve function testing is important in diagnosing and treating a variety of neurological conditions and disorders.
