The effect of local heat treatment of the sciatic nerve was assessed using the toe-spreading test, which mainly assesses the motor function of the sciatic nerve. A 5 mm long segment of the nerve was heated at temperatures from 42.0 to 45.0 degrees C in vivo using a brass thermode. Hyperthermia led to a decrease in spreading of the toes. Recovery from functional loss took place in all cases, and this recovery was completed in 4 weeks. A 50 per cent functional loss in 50 per cent of the treated animals was observed after 58, 32 and 12 min of heating at 43.0, 44.0 and 45.0 degrees C respectively.
使用趾展试验评估坐骨神经局部热处理的效果，该试验主要评估坐骨神经的运动功能。在体内使用黄铜热电极将5毫米长的神经段加热至42.0至45.0摄氏度。热疗导致趾展减少。所有病例的功能丧失均有恢复，且在4周内恢复完成。分别在43.0、44.0和45.0摄氏度下加热58、32和12分钟后，观察到50%的受试动物出现50%的功能丧失。
