Abstract
We investigated cervical epidural steroid injection effects on Current Perception Threshold (CPT) measures in a patient with neuropathic pain using the NeurometerAE CPT/C device (Neurotron, Inc Baltimore MD, USA). CPT measures pre injection revealed a significant hypoesthesia in A�¥ and C fibers with normal A�≤ fiber function. CPT testing 24 hours after a cervical epidural injection at the C7-T1 interspace using methylprednisolone and lignocaine revealed normal measures indicating a reversal of
