The magnitude of the central response to esophageal electrical stimulation is intensity dependent
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cerebral evoked potential (EP) responses to visceral stimulation represent a powerful method to assess visceral afferent pathways. The aim of this study was to establish basic stimulation parameters (dose-response relationship in EP amplitude and topographic brain organization) during electrical esophageal stimulation.
METHODS: Electrical esophageal stimulation was performed in repeated series of 24 stimuli in 15 healthy …
