PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction/Objective Diagnostic nerve blocks (DNBs) involve the injection of anesthetic around peripheral nerves to temporarily reduce motor tone. Although they are used clinically to inform spasticity treatment with neurotomy and chemodenervation, there is little research exploring the predictive nature of DNBs.

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plantar and dorsal von Frey (VF) filament assays are widely used to assess mechanical nociception in rodents following peripheral nerve injury, spinal cord injury, and analgesic interventions. However, the effects of repeated testing on withdrawal thresholds and potential sensitization have not been well defined.
