Noninvasive Evaluation of Nerve Conduction in Small Diameter Fibers in the Rat
Figure 4
Effects of CAP application are reflected in the magnitude of compound C-fiber response in the digital nerve. (a) MUA was recorded prior to application of CAP (baseline) and 10, 20, and 30–45 days after application and averaged across 5 rats. (b) A decrease in total magnitude of the C-fiber compound response within the range of NCV 0.5–2 m/s after treatment with CAP (ANOVA , closed bars, mean, SEM, ) is compared to no change of the same measure in age-matched controls (open bars, mean, SEM, ). For illustration purposes the averaged MUA was smoothed.
