Objective laboratory tests are needed to diagnose lesions within the nociceptive system accurately. One approach is assessing pain-related evoked potentials (PREPs) in response to intra-epidermal electrical stimulation (IES). In this context, peripheral characterization of the specificity of nociceptor activation with IES is needed.
