Cold-evoked potentials in clinical practice: A head-to-head contrast with laser-evoked responses.
Authors
Perchet C, Hagiwara K, Salameh C, Garcia-Larrea LAbstract
Innocuous cooling of the skin activates cold-specific Aδ fibres, and hence, the recording of cold-evoked potentials (CEPs) may improve the objective assessment of human thermo-nociceptive function. While the feasibility of CEP recordings in healthy humans has been reported, their reliability and diagnostic use in clinical conditions have not been documented.
