    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study stimulated the dorsal nerve of the penis/clitoris to record nerve responses. Findings offer insights into evaluating sacral nerve injuries and related dysfunctions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • The pudendal nerve, specifically its dorsal branch to the penis or clitoris, plays a crucial role in somatic and autonomic innervations.
    • Understanding the neurophysiological pathways is essential for diagnosing various neurological conditions affecting pelvic functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the evoked responses following stimulation of the dorsal nerve of the penis or clitoris.
    • To compare these responses with those elicited from the posterior tibial nerve for diagnostic reference.

    Main Methods:

    • Stimulation of the dorsal nerve of the penis or clitoris in normal subjects.
    • Recording averaged evoked responses from the spinal cord, sensory cortex, and bulbocavernosus muscle.
    • Analysis of morphologic features, peak latencies, and conduction times.

    Main Results:

    • Established normative data for peripheral and central conduction times from dorsal nerve stimulation.
    • Demonstrated comparability between dorsal nerve and posterior tibial nerve evoked responses.

    Conclusions:

    • Evoked potential testing of the dorsal nerve of the penis or clitoris is a valuable clinical tool.
    • These electrophysiological assessments can aid in diagnosing sacral nerve root/plexus injuries and associated bowel, bladder, or sexual dysfunction.
