Abstract

A safe, simple method of recording human spinal electrogram (SEG) is described. The method is based on established techniques for administering epidural anesthesia and could be applied to the diagnosis of human spinal diseases and to physiological or pharmacological study of the human nervous system.

Résumé

Les auteurs décrivent une méthode simple et inoffensive d'enregistrement de l'électrogramme spinal chez l'homme. Cette méthode se base sur des techniques bien établies d'anesthésie épidurale et pourrait s'appliquer au diagnostic de maladies médullaires et à l'étude physiologique ou pharmacologique du système nerveux de l'homme.

    Therefore, there is a pressing need to identify novel stimulation methods for rodents that would better reproduce the SCS procedure in humans. Several studies have reported recordings of evoked spinal cord action potentials in animals using a needle lead inserted intrathecally9 or an epidural lead.10–14 Recently, with the use of epidural lead, electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) have been recorded in humans and sheep.15,16

    Electrophysiologic techniques used to localize the site of the spinal cord lesion have made steady progress since earlier studies conducted under the term “electrospinogram” in animal models (Morrison et al., 1975; Rossini et al., 1980) and humans (Shimoji et al., 1971).

    The LLP field of the SCDP also has a negative counterpart when recorded on the anterior face of the spinal cord (Austin and McCouch, 1955; Jeanmonod et al., 1989). Confirmation of these observations had been made through intrathecal and epidural recordings in humans (Shimoji et al., 1971; Shimoji, 2006; Ertekin, 1976; Beric et al., 1986; Cioni and Meglio, 1986; Hallström et al., 1989; Aida and Shimoji, 2006). The posterior LLP field is usually associated with a depolarisation of the primary afferents (primary afferent depolarisation (PAD)).
