Abstract

LEON AGUIRRE, Antonio De et al. The usefulness of the measurement of the cutaneous silent period and sympathetic skin response in post-COVID symptomatic patients with regular neuroconduction studies. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2025, vol.23, n.2, pp.121-125.  Epub May 12, 2025. ISSN 1870-7203.  https://doi.org/10.35366/119473.

The complications observed in patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection are heterogeneous and of multiple degrees of severity, including neuropathy. There are patients with neuropathic symptoms whose conventional nerve conduction studies (NCS) are regular. Neurophysiological tests for thin nerve fibers, such as “sympathetic skin response” (SSR) and “cutaneous silent period” (CSP), likely provide information that contributes to the diagnosis of these patients.

Keywords : cutaneous silent period; sympathetic skin response; neuroconduction study; milliseconds; microvolts.
