Statement
Professor Renato Verdugo will present Evaluation of Small Caliber Afferents
Date: Conventional NCS do not reflect activation of small afferent fibers, including Aδ and C fibers. Several clinical and research techniques have been developed for the assessment of small fiber function and we will discuss those most frequently used. Nevertheless, the definitive gold standard for laboratory evaluation of these fibers is still needed.
