Evaluation of mechanomyogram efficacy as a tool for assessing paired-pulse inhibition of blink reflex early R1 component.
Introduction/aims: Paired-pulse stimulation provides clinically useful information regarding sensory inhibition. When supraorbital nerve stimulation is repeated within a short interval, the response to the second stimulation is reduced to varying degrees. This magnitude of change in stimulation response can be monitored by electromyogram (EMG) or by mechanomyogram (MMG) as in this report. MMG has some advantages such as being less time consuming and lacking stimulus artifact. We compared the use of MMG and EMG to validate MMG as an effective method of assessing blink reflex paired-pulse inhibition.
Methods: Eight volunteers participated. Participants received electrical stimulation to the supraorbital nerve of each side. A paired-pulse paradigm was employed, varying the conditioning-test interval between 5 and 800 ms. The R1 component of the induced blink reflex was simultaneously recorded by EMG using a pair of electrodes placed on the lower eyelid and by MMG using an accelerometer placed between the electrodes.
Results: The correlation coefficient of the R1 amplitude between MMG and EMG of the grand-averaged waveforms was 0.99. The average participant r value was .91 (range .76-.99). Similar analyses were performed for the amplitude variation of the second response relative to the first response. Results correlated well, yielding r values of .97 and .86 for the grand-averaged waveform and the average for each subject.
Discussion: The present results demonstrate that MMG could be an alternative to EMG in assessing paired-pulse inhibition of the electrical blink reflex R1 component.
期刊介绍:
Muscle & Nerve is an international and interdisciplinary publication of original contributions, in both health and disease, concerning studies of the muscle, the neuromuscular junction, the peripheral motor, sensory and autonomic neurons, and the central nervous system where the behavior of the peripheral nervous system is clarified. Appearing monthly, Muscle & Nerve publishes clinical studies and clinically relevant research reports in the fields of anatomy, biochemistry, cell biology, electrophysiology and electrodiagnosis, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, toxicology, and virology. The Journal welcomes articles and reports on basic clinical electrophysiology and electrodiagnosis. We expedite some papers dealing with timely topics to keep up with the fast-moving pace of science, based on the referees'' recommendation.
