Ten patients with clinical diagnoses of complete transverse spinal cord tissue destruction were interviewed about any sensations they felt below the level at which normal feelings were evident. All ten reported experiencing various feelings most of the time and nine reported that some of those feelings were usually quite painful. Videothermographs showing differences in skin temperature of 0.1 degrees celsius were taken to evaluate blood flow patterns to a depth of 1.5 cm. Changes in blood flow patterns were found to correlate highly with the level at which sensations changed from normal to abnormal and to correlate virtually exactly with the locations of pain reported from supposedly desenate areas.
对十名临床诊断为完全性横贯性脊髓组织损伤的患者进行了访谈，询问他们在正常感觉明显的水平以下所感受到的任何感觉。所有十名患者均报告大部分时间都有各种感觉，九名患者报告其中一些感觉通常相当疼痛。拍摄了显示皮肤温度差异为0.1摄氏度的视频热像图，以评估深度达1.5厘米处的血流模式。发现血流模式的变化与感觉从正常变为异常的水平高度相关，并且与据称是无感觉区域所报告的疼痛位置几乎完全相关。
