The cutaneous silent period is preserved in cervical radiculopathy: significance for the diagnosis of cervical myelopathy
Original language description
Electromyographic (EMG) activity from voluntarily contracting hand muscles undergoes transient suppression following nociceptive fingertip stimulation. This suppression is mediated by a spinal inhibitory reflex designated the cutaneous silent period (CSP). The CSP is abolished or altered in a variety of myelopathic conditions. However, before the CSP can gain acceptance as an aid in the diagnosis of myelopathy, the contribution of non-myelopathic conditions that can interrupt the afferent pathways responsible for the CSP needs to be considered. Accordingly, we examined the effect of radiculopathy on the CSP. Nociceptive stimulation was applied to thumb (C6 dermatome), middle (C7) and little (C8) fingers of 23 patients with cervical radiculopathy. Fouror more CSP responses were recorded in abductor pollicis brevis muscle following digital stimulation. The patients had C6 (n = 10), C7 (n = 7), or C8 (n = 6) radiculopathy documented by EMG. A complete CSP was elicited in 21 of 23 patient
