AAEM minimonograph #34: polyneuropathy: classification by nerve conduction studies and electromyography.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Topical application of lidocaine-and-prilocaine (LP) cream attenuates the functionality of small cutaneous nerve fibers. The aim of this human study was to measure the underlying excitability modulation of small cutaneous nerve fibers using a novel and fast perception threshold tracking (PTT) technique. M...
