Somatosensory evoked potentionals (SEPs) can be used to elucidate differences in cortical activity associated with a spinal manipulation (SM) intervention. The purpose of this narrative review is to overview the origin and application of SEPs, a neurophysiological technique to investigate neuroplasticity. Summaries of: 1) parameters for SEP generation and waveform recording; 2) SEP peak nomenclature, interpretation and generators; 3) peaks pertaining to tactile information processing (relevant to both chiropractic and other manual therapies); 4) utilization and application of SEPs; 5) SEPs concurrent with an experimental task and at baseline/control/pretest; 6) SEPs pain studies; and 7) SEPs design (pre/post) and neural reorganization/neuroplasticity; and 8) SEPs and future chiropractic research are all reviewed. Understanding what SEPs are, and their application allows chiropractors, educators, and other manual therapists interested in SM to understand the context, and importance of research findings from SM studies that involve SEPs.
体感诱发电位(SEPs)可用于阐明与脊柱推拿(SM)干预相关的皮质活动差异。本叙述性综述的目的是概述SEP的起源和应用,SEP是一种用于研究神经可塑性的神经生理学技术。综述内容包括:1)SEP产生和波形记录的参数;2)SEP峰的命名、解释和发生器;3)与触觉信息处理相关的峰(与整脊疗法和其他手法治疗均相关);4)SEP的利用和应用;5)与实验任务同时以及在基线/对照/预测试时的SEP;6)SEP疼痛研究;7)SEP设计(前后对比)和神经重组/神经可塑性;8)SEP与未来整脊疗法研究。了解SEP是什么及其应用,有助于对脊柱推拿感兴趣的整脊师、教育工作者和其他手法治疗师理解涉及SEP的脊柱推拿研究结果的背景和重要性。
