Contact heat and cold, mechanical, electrical and chemical stimuli to elicit small fiber-evoked potentials: Merits and limitations for basic science and clinical use

Summary: Laser-evoked potentials are the most extensively validated method to objectively assess nociceptive pathway function in humans. Here, we review merits and shortcomings of alternative techniques using different principles of stimulus generation to stimulate Aδ- or C-fibers. Fast ramp contact...
