Cortical Evoked Responses Following Esophageal Balloon Distension and Electrical Stimulation in Healthy Volunteers
Abstract
Recording of evoked potential responsesrepresents an objective and quantifiable method to studyvisceral afferent sensory pathways in humans. Weexamined the evoked responses to mechanical distension(balloon) and electrical stimulation of the proximal anddistal esophagus. A standard manometric catheter with alatex balloon and an additional electrode attached toits body was placed in the lower esophagus in 15 healthy young volunteers. …
