AutoNRT thresholds demonstrated significant change over time, limiting the ability to use intraoperatively recorded ECAP thresholds to predict postoperative measurements. In this study, electrodes 11 and 16 showed the least amount of change in ECAP threshold over time and therefore would be the best choices for estimating postoperative ECAP thresholds. Although not an ideal solution, mid-array ECAP thresholds obtained intraoperatively may prove to be helpful in creating a first MAP when no other behavioral or electrophysiological data are available.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
