Traditional electrodiagnostic nerve tests, such as the sensory nerve conduction velocity (sNCV) examine fewer than 10% of sensory fibers within an isolated segment of a peripheral nerve. These traditional tests are insensitive to early stage hyperesthesia and functional complications, and rely on a non-standardized single-blinded test procedures.
Neurometer® devices quantify the functional integrity of the large myelinated, small myelinated and unmyelinated sensory fibers (>90%) using a standardized double-blinded (p<0.006) automated test procedure. Standardized measures are objectively evaluated through computerized comparison to clinically established normative values.
Also, unlike traditional electrodiagnostic procedures, Neurometer® tests are painless and can be conducted anywhere on the body - including the most distal cutaneous sites as well as mucosal locations.
Neurometer® measures are not confounded by skin temperature, edema or electromagnetic interference. More than 500 peer-reviewed studies document the high sensitivity, specificity and intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Neurometer® sensory nerve tests and their advantages over traditional procedures.
