Abstract

A-wave is a late response related either to demyelination or early axonal regeneration. It may be helpful in the evaluation of some peripheral neuropathies. In leprosy, previous studies suggested that A-waves could be a neurophysiological marker of pain in patients during reactions. Herein, we attempted to further assess the profile and clinical correlates of A-waves by exploring a large leprosy cohort.
