The electrodiagnostic evaluation of nerve root function.

S Haldeman

    Spine
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Electrodiagnostic testing aids in diagnosing spinal cord and nerve root lesions, estimating lesion characteristics like severity and level. However, these tests may not correlate with spinal pain, necessitating comprehensive evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Electrodiagnostic testing is crucial for investigating spinal nerve root and cord function.
    • It helps confirm and document suspected neuronal lesions, providing insights into their characteristics.

    Observation:

    • Various tests like needle electromyography, H-reflexes, F-responses, and evoked potentials are available.
    • Each test has distinct advantages and limitations, and no single test is sufficient to exclude others.

    Findings:

    • Multiple electrodiagnostic procedures can estimate spinal nerve root lesion chronicity, level, sensory/motor dysfunction, and severity.
    • Case examples demonstrate a lack of correlation between electrodiagnostic findings and spinal pain.

    Implications:

    • Comprehensive electrodiagnostic evaluation is necessary for accurate diagnosis of spinal neuronal lesions.
