Stimulation and measurement of electrode potentials of the sciatic nerve provided acute measures of nerve function in response to proximal surgery in progress.
The GDNF DS and NGF DS groups were also similar to the nerve isograft group in measures of nerve fiber density, percent neural tissue and myelinated area measurements, but not in terms of total fiber counts.
They also report improvements in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and in electrophysiological measures of nerve conduction in the visual system in some or all of the patients.
And for those who think these side effects are somehow "deliberately" willed or imagined, measures of nerve activity following nocebo treatment have shown that the spinal cord begins responding to heightened pain before conscious deliberation would even be possible.
Our study confirms the association with male sex, glycemic control, and diabetes duration on objective measures of nerve conduction.
In studies of duloxetine there were no treatment group differences in any electrophysiologic measures of nerve function, including nerve conduction studies of the ulnar and peroneal nerves.
