    This study presents a simple, reliable electroneurographic method for examining the sural nerve in polyneuropathy patients. Surface electrode stimulation and recording proved effective and patient-friendly, correlating well with other techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Polyneuropathy diagnosis requires reliable electrophysiological assessment.
    • Sural nerve electroneurography is crucial for evaluating peripheral nerve function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a simple, reliable method for electroneurographic examination of the sural nerve in polyneuropathy patients.
    • To compare the efficacy of surface versus needle electrodes for nerve conduction studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Established normal values for sural nerve conduction using orthodromic technique and surface electrodes.
    • Recorded nerve action potentials in polyneuropathy patients using both surface and needle electrodes.
    • Analyzed nerve conduction velocity, amplitude, duration, and latency prolongation.

    Main Results:

    • Normal values: nerve conduction velocity (59.44 m/s ± 5.05), amplitude (6.58 µV ± 3.05), duration (2.08 ms ± 2.7), latency prolongation (3.37% ± 0.77).
    • Methods using surface and needle electrodes showed highly significant correlation in results.
    • Surface electrode method is simple, quick, gentle, reliable, and suitable for repeated examinations.

    Conclusions:

    • Surface electrode electroneurography is a valid and advantageous method for sural nerve examination in polyneuropathy.
    • This technique offers a patient-friendly approach for diagnosing and monitoring polyneuropathy.
    • Further insights into polyneuropathy can be gained through relative refractory period examination.
