Methods: MNCV and latency of Median, Ulnar, and Common Peroneal nerve of both upper and lower limb were done in patients of Hypothyroidism and in Control subjects. Results: Significant bilateral decrease is observed in the MNCV of the Median Nerve in Hypothyroid subjects as compared to the control subjects. Also there is Significant bilateral increase in the Motor Latency of the Median Nerve in Hypothyroid subjects as compared to the control subjects. Conclusion: Hypothyroidism cause significant decrease in MNCV of Median Nerve as well as increase in Motor latency in Median Nerve.
