Transient decrease of sensory perception after thermoalgesic stimuli for quantitative sensory testing.
Transient decrease in the excitability of a reflex circuit following its activation by appropriate stimuli is a well-recognized phenomenon, but it is unclear how this applies to thermoalgesic stimuli during quantitative sensory testing (QST). We examined the effects induced by a thermoalgesic (conditioning) stimulus on the response to a subsequent (test) stimulus of the same characteristics. Al...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of differential sensory blockade after lumbar epidural lidocaine.
A cutaneous current perception threshold (CPT) sensory testing device measures both large and small diameter sensory nerve fiber function and may be useful in evaluating differential neural blockade. Eight subjects received both lumbar epidural saline and lumbar epidural lidocaine. Five milliliters of normal saline was administered and the CPTs were measured. After the saline, 10 mL of 2% plain...
متن کاملSensory threshold testing.
W e read with much interest the recent study by Sosenko et al. (1). Studies that screen for both NIDDM and polyneuropathy in subjects without a history of glucose intolerance are rare and therefore welcome. In general , their cross-sectional data agree very well with our findings in a general Cau-casian population. We also found that vibration threshold is related to glycemic level, controlling...
متن کاملHemorrhagic Lumbar Synovial Cyst after Microscopic Discectomy
Intraspinal synovial cysts are rare but they are being documented with increasing frequency due to improvements in radiological imaging. However, hemorrhage into synovial cysts is uncommon, and affected patients may present with acute onset radiculopathy. This type of hemorrhage is known to result from rupture of fragile neoangiogenic vessels in the cyst wall, due to a traumatic event or antico...
متن کاملQuantitative Sensory Testing
Description of Procedure or Service Quantitative sensory testing (QST) systems are used for the noninvasive assessment and quantification of sensory nerve function in patients with symptoms of or the potential for neurologic damage or disease. Pain conditions evaluated may include diabetic neuropathy and uremic and toxic neuropathies, complex regional pain syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ...
