1. Clinical and electrophysiological efficacy of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy in carpal tunnel syndrome: a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy on pain, functionality, and electrophysiological measurements in carpal tunnel syndrome. METHODS: Between June 2021 and January 2022, a total of 66 wrists in 45 participants with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome were included in this dou

2. Dexmedetomidine attenuates P2X4 and NLRP3 expression in the spine of rats with diabetic neuropathic pain
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effects of Dexmedetomidine (Dex) on spinal pathology and inflammatory factor in a rat model of Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). Methods: The rats were divided into 3 groups (eight in each group): normal group (N group), diabetic neuropathic pain model group (DNP group), and DNP model with dexmedetomidine (Dex group). The r

3. Essential oil of Lippia alba and its main constituent citral block the excitability of rat sciatic nerves
Lippia alba is empirically used for infusions, teas, macerates, and hydroalcoholic extracts because of its antispasmodic, analgesic, sedative, and anxiolytic effects. Citral is a mixture of trans-geranial and cis-neral and is the main constituent of L. alba essential oil and possesses analgesic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and sedative effects. The present s

4. Effects of placebo-controlled continuous and pulsed ultrasound treatments on carpal tunnel syndrome: a randomized trial
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effects of pulsed and continuous ultrasound treatments combined with splint therapy on patients with mild and moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. METHODS: The study included 46 carpal tunnel syndrome patients who were randomly divided into 3 groups. The first group (n = 15

5. Cold water immersion of the ankle decreases neuromuscular response of lower limb after inversion movement
BACKGROUND: Cryotherapy has been associated with a significant decrease in nerve conduction velocity and muscle contraction with possible effects on exercise and physical training. OBJECTIVES: To quantify the electromyographic response of the lateral gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, fibularis longus, rectus femoris and gluteus medius to ankle inversi

6. Limb immobilization alters functional electrophysiological parameters of sciatic nerve
Immobilization, used in clinical practice to treat traumatologic problems, causes changes in muscle, but it is not known whether changes also occur in nerves. We investigated the effects of immobilization on excitability and compound action potential (CAP) and the ultrastructure of the rat sciatic nerve. Fourteen days after immobilization of the right leg of

7. Confiabilidade dos testes de condução nervosa; efeitos da crioterapia na condução nervosa sensorial e motora
This thesis presents three manuscripts derived of two research projects that were developed during the doctorate program. Project 1. Purpose: To determine the interand intra-rater reliability of nerve conduction studies (NCS) of superficial peroneal, sural and medial plantar nerves. Methods: Two raters performed the bilateral NCS twice in 20 healthy particip

8. Influence of the number of stitches in axonal regeneration and production of extracellular matrix in end-to-end epineural suture in the rat sciatic nerve / Influência do número de pontos na regeneração axonal e produção de matriz extracelular na sutura epineural terminoterminal no nervo ciático do rato
PURPOSE: After an injury to a peripheral nerve, its repair is performed with epineural sutures of the stumps using nylon. The inflammatory process caused by the passage of the needle and the presence of suture material with the consequent formation of scar tissue at the suture line becomes an obstacle to axonal regeneration after nerve repair. In the literat

9. Anatomia ultraestrutural do nervo frênico de ratos: alterações decorrentes do diabete experimental crônico.
Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetes is known to cause a reduction of both conduction velocity and axon caliber in rat nerves and also a decrease in muscle fiber size. In the present study we investigated the phrenic nerve neuropathy, due to experimental diabetes induced by STZ and the evolution of this neuropathy in diabetic rats treated with insulin. Prox

10. Effects of estragole on the compound action potential of the rat sciatic nerve
Estragole, a relatively nontoxic terpenoid ether, is an important constituent of many essential oils with widespread applications in folk medicine and aromatherapy and known to have potent local anesthetic activity. We investigated the effects of estragole on the compound action potential (CAP) of the rat sciatic nerve. The experiments were carried out on sc

11. Causas y consecuencias de la deficiencia de hierro
Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutritional deficiency and the main cause of anemia worldwide. Apart from anemia effects, other non-hematological manifestations have been described, such as decreased capacity for physical work and spontaneous motor activity, impairment of cell-mediated immunity and bactericidal capacity of neutrophils, decreased thermo

12. Effects of terpineol on the compound action potential of the rat sciatic nerve
Terpineol, a volatile terpenoid alcohol of low toxicity, is widely used in the perfumery industry. It is an important chemical constituent of the essential oil of many plants with widespread applications in folk medicine and in aromatherapy. The effects of terpineol on the compound action potential (CAP) of rat sciatic nerve were studied. Terpineol induced a
