Noninvasive Evaluation of Nerve Conduction in Small Diameter Fibers in the Rat

Figure 3

Compound C-fiber response is presented as MUA in digital nerve averaged across 15 animals ((a), top trace) and compared to the samples from three rats ( ). Response in the range of fast conduction is left out of scale (initial 5–7 ms after start of stimulation). Bar graphs illustrate distribution of activity within three ranges of slow NCV (horizontal axis, (b)) as a percent of the total response and magnitude of the C-fiber compound response (c) within the range of NCV 0.5–2 m/s (mean, SD).
