- Abstract
In recent few years, the extensive use of mobile phones raises the question of possible health effects, particular on neural functions. A variety of studies show beyond the shadow of doubt that cell phone exposure alters nerve function in an adverse way, the problem that certainly increases based on exposure time and frequency of use. Data indicates that this problem will be worse in presence of other nerve related stress and risks can be reduced by having adequate antioxidants. Objective: The purpose of this study to find out the effect of mobile phone usage on NCV of median nerve. Population: This study had conducted with 69 number of mobile phone using subjects from AIMS Physiotherapy College and L G Hospital, Ahmedabad. Intervention: The participants were randomly allocated to 2 groups: Group 1(n = 38): mobile use < 2 hours and Group 2(n = 31): mobile use 2 to 4 hours. Measurements: motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities are measured in both the groups. Results: There is correlation between SNCV and mobile using time. When the time of mobile phone increases, the SNCV decreases by using Pearson test. Limitations: small study group and no retrospective measurement were possible. Conclusion: there is correlation between SNCV and mobile using time. When the time of mobile phone increases, the SNCV decreases.
