Nowadays they don't use the needles for nerve conduction velocity (NCV). They're just electrodes on the surface. I have had it done on my arms (carpal tunnel etc.).

The needles are for electromyography, which is another type of test--and it doesn't hurt as bad as I have heard the nerve/needle tests were.
