We describe a new nerve conduction study technique with reference values for the 3 branches of the supraclavicular nerve (SCN) in young healthy subjects and application of it in 2 patients.
The recording electrode was placed on the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, 6-7 cm from the sternoclavicular joint. SCN branches were stimulated below the clavicle, 2.5, 7, and 10.5 cm lateral to the sternoclavicular joint.
Twenty healthy volunteers (10 men), 19-38 years, mean 25.9 years (SD 6.3), and 2 patients with SCN lesions were studied. The mean conduction velocities of the SCN branches were 70-78 m/s (SD 8-10 m/s), and amplitudes 3-4 µV (SD 0.9-2.0 µV). There were no side-to-side or gender differences.
The 3 SCN branches could be studied in all subjects. We provide reference values for young subjects. This new method was useful in verifying SCN lesions in 2 patients. Muscle Nerve 58: 300-303, 2018.
我们描述了一种新的锁骨上神经(SCN)传导研究技术,包括年轻健康受试者 SCN 3 个分支的参考值,并在 2 例患者中应用。
记录电极置于胸锁乳突肌后缘,距胸锁关节 6-7cm。SCN 分支在锁骨下、锁骨下 2.5、7 和 10.5cm 处刺激。
20 名健康志愿者(男 10 名,女 10 名),年龄 19-38 岁,平均 25.9 岁(标准差 6.3),2 例 SCN 病变患者。SCN 分支的平均传导速度为 70-78m/s(标准差 8-10m/s),波幅为 3-4µV(标准差 0.9-2.0µV)。无侧别或性别差异。
所有受试者均能研究 SCN 的 3 个分支。我们为年轻受试者提供了参考值。这种新方法在验证 2 例 SCN 病变患者中是有用的。《肌肉神经》58:300-303,2018 年。
