Given that many neurodevelopmental testing procedures require normal sensory function, a vision and hearing screen should also precede the examination.
Even though sensory evaluation procedures yield data on the attributes that distinguish a series of wines, they rarely clarify their relative importance to a wine's perceived quality.
This one-session study consisted of three randomized sensory testing procedures: 1) PPT assessment in the neck-shoulder, in the elbow region and in the tibialis anterior muscle (TA), 2) dynamic pressure algometry in the elbow region, and 3) conditioned pain modulation (CPM) assessment.
Sensory function and lower limbs muscle strength recovery was assessed during the procedure, and significant improvements were measured at the end of treatment.
Cold and warm detection thresholds (CDT, WDT) were assessed, as well as paradoxical heat sensations (PHS) during thermal sensory limen procedure (TSL) of alternating warm and cold stimuli.
Future studies will have to evaluate the long-term effect of this sensory babysitter-procedure and the influence of the sensoric protection on the motor end-plate.
In this study we aimed to transfer the surgical principle of the sensory protection/babysitter-procedure for the distal median nerve injury.
The cognitive group received a 12 min preparation with sensory and procedural information relating to the sensations and sequence of events associated with the endoscopy procedure.
Aiming at measuring the MIR sensitivity and specificity, we recorded this reflex after mental and tongue stimulations in a controlled, blinded study in 160 consecutive patients with sensory disturbances following dental procedures.
For a more detailed methodology of the procedures for sensory testing, see Jacobs et al. [ 21].
