The main purpose of this article is to determine a method of supporting the sympathetic skin response (SSR) as a sensitive clinical test. Using a non-invasive technique the SSRs are simultaneously recorded by 4 channel EMG machine. Thirty adults (10 women and 20 men, aged 19 to 46 years), normal and healthy, participated in this experiment. Not only did the latencies recorded on both palms respond faster than those on both soles, but the amplitudes measured on the palms were also higher. From these observations, one is bound to conclude that the SSR is not a segmental response but a long systemic response. More than two channel EMG recordings are desirable to see whether or not there is a lesion in any part of the SSR's pathway. Comparing the SSRs made both on the palms and soles simultaneously is recommendable in order to increase the its sensitivity.
本文的主要目的是确定一种将交感神经皮肤反应(SSR)作为一种敏感临床测试的支持方法。使用非侵入性技术,通过四通道肌电图仪同时记录SSR。三十名年龄在19至46岁之间的正常健康成年人(10名女性和20名男性)参与了该实验。不仅双手记录的潜伏期比双脚的反应更快,而且双手测量的振幅也更高。从这些观察结果可以得出结论,SSR不是节段性反应,而是一种长程全身性反应。需要进行两通道以上的肌电图记录,以查看SSR通路的任何部位是否存在病变。为了提高其敏感性,建议同时比较双手和双脚的SSR。
