Abstract: Peripheral vascular diseases is the most common cause of nerve weakness, so, we have to detect the nerve weakness at earlier stage to prevent the peripheral nerve damage. Since, nerve conduction is gold standard for the diagnosis of the peripheral nerve weakness. The disease is more common in smokers. The cause of Buerger’s disease is not yet know, smoking is very-closely related with exacerbations and remission of the disease. The 40 patients of peripheral arterial disease constituted the present study. There is severe decrease in motor and sensory conduction velocity in Stage III patients of fontaine staging. Nerve conduction is significantly decreased in patients having peripheral vascular disease.
