Clinical Trial: Pain-related Evoked Potentials in Unilateral Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Evaluation of Pain-related Evoked Potentials (PREP) for the Objectivization of Neuropathic Pain

Brief Summary: The study examines pain-related evoked potentials (PREP) in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. Since previous studies found altered latencies and amplitudes of PREP in generalized polyneuropathies, e. g. HIV-polyneuropathy and fibromyalgia, this study investigates if these alterations are detectable in unilateral peripheral nerve injuries as well.
