Clinical trials: Somatosensory Evoked Potential
Pleasant Touch, Cortical Response
GentleTouch (Study to Evaluate Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) Responses to Affective Touch and How it Develops in Healthy Term Babies)
This study will attempt to measure the direct effect of pleasant skin touch on the developing infant brain. The massage intervention stimulates a specific class of unmyelinated C-fibres in the skin called C-touch (CT) afferents…

Scoliosis
Susceptibility of Motor-Evoked Potentials to Varying Targeted Blood Levels of Dexmedetomidine
Reduction of the spinal cord injuries during scoliosis surgery is a major goal of the anesthesia and surgical team. Despite improvement in scoliosis surgery over the years, the development of neurological deficits remains the…

Tethered Spinal Cord, Brain Tumor
Dexmedetomidine on Intraoperative Somatosensory and Motor Evoked Potential Monitoring During Neurosurgery in Pediatric Patients
The investigators want to know if using the study drug dexmedetomidine will improve nerve wave readings during neurosurgery. These readings are done many times during surgery while the patient is asleep.

- NCT01512147
- Testing
- Isoflurane, Propofol, Dexmedetomidine

Somatosensory Disorders
Somatosensory Evoked Potentials and Pain Thresholds in Term and Preterm-Born Adolescents After Early Exposure to Pain; a Quantitative Study
Background: Several studies have indicated that infants who had undergone postnatal painful procedures appear to be hypersensitive to pain, with a lower threshold to tactile stimulations later on life.
