Clinical TrialLaser-Evoked Potentials to Pudendal Stimulation in Healthy Subjects: A Pilot Study.
Laser-evoked potentials (LEPs) are useful neurophysiological tools for investigating the A-delta sensory peripheral fibers and the central nociceptive pathway. The current investigation aims to obtain normative values of LEPs via pudendal nerve stimulation in healthy adult volunteers. ⋯ This study provides normative data on pudendal LEPs versus hand and foot LEPs. Incorporation of pudendal LEPs into clinical practice could provide a valuable neurophysiological tool for the study of pelvic pain syndromes.
