Pain-related Evoked Potentials in Unilateral Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Completed
Conditions
Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Registration Number
NCT03082820
Lead Sponsor
Ruhr University of Bochum
Brief Summary

The study examines pain-related evoked potentials (PREP) in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. Since previous studies found altered latencies and amplitudes of PREP in generalized polyneuropathies, e. g. HIV-polyneuropathy and fibromyalgia, this study investigates if these alterations are detectable in unilateral peripheral nerve injuries as well.
