Kramer JK et al. – Review of sensory segmental assessments after spinal cord injuryfocuses on dermatomal somatosensory-evoked potentials (dSSEPs) and contact heat-evoked potentials (CHEPs) as distinct assessment tools.
Methods- Review of sensory segmental assessments after spinal cord injury
- Advanced electrophysiological recording techniques can assess sensory function from individual spinal segments and track the potential risks or benefits of a therapeutic intervention
- dSSEPs and CHEPs can provide sensitive and reliable functional measurements of spinal connectivity when combined with other clinical sensory evaluations
- dSSEPs measure innocuous tactile inputs via dorsal column pathways from individual spinal segments
- Conversely, CHEPs evaluate thermal (e.g., nociceptive) inputs via spinothalamic pathways arising from each spinal segment
