determination of f-wave latency is a simple and valuable method in evaluating proximal part of peripheral nerves. the aim of this study was to determine the mean minimal peroneal f wave (f min) in healthy individuals. a total of 282 individuals were studied. the mean age was 45.6 years. the f min (± sd) for 564 peroneal nerves was 47.09 ± 4.51 ms. the f min for the age group of 20-45 and height...

background: incidence and predominant subtype  of guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) differs geographically. electrophysiology has an important  role in early diagnosis and  prediction  of prognosis. this study  is conducted to determine the frequent  subtype  of gbs in a large group of patients  in iran and compare  nerve conduction studies in axonal and demyelinating forms of gbs. methods:    we  ...

background: carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. objectives: this study aimed to e...

objective(s):diabetic neuropathy (dn) is a common complication of diabetes that leads to allodynia, impaired nerve conduction, and progressive sensory loss. the aim of this study was to observe the effect of a high-affinity cannabinoid receptors agonist, win 55,212-2, on thermal hyperalgesia, nerve conduction velocity and sciatic nerve histopathology in diabetic rats. materials and methods: dia...

footdrop is a relatively common deficit among the neurological disorders, which has different causes with various levels of involvement in neuromuscular system, including central nervous system (brain cortex, spinal cord), fifth lumbar root, peripheral nerves and muscles. peroneal nerve injury at the fibular head has been reported to the most common cause of foot drop, which can be due to infar...

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...
