Pain-related Evoked Potentials in Unilateral Peripheral Nerve Injuries

NCT03082820 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 64

Last updated 2017-03-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study examines pain-related evoked potentials (PREP) in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. Since previous studies found altered latencies and amplitudes of PREP in generalized polyneuropathies, e. g. HIV-polyneuropathy and fibromyalgia, this study investigates if these alterations are detectable in unilateral peripheral nerve injuries as well.

Conditions

  • Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pain-related evoked potentials (PREP)

PREP were performed bilaterally with a concentric surface electrode at twice the individual pain threshold.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST)

QST was performed bilaterally following the protocol of the German Network on Neuropathic Pain.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Nerve conduction studies (NCS)

NCS were performed with patients only.
