“…However, because of habituation and the effects of different psychological states, such as consciousness and emotion, the appearance of the evoked potential varies widely. [4][5][6][7] Because of these factors, consensus has not been reached concerning the waveform analysis method. 8 In this study, we examined the SSR in healthy subjects and patients with spinal cord injury, and reported the findings on the basic properties of SSR.…”

either the upper or lower limbs. In patients with a thoracic cord injury, some responded at the upper limbs but none at the lower limbs; some responded at neither upper nor the lower limbs; and some responded at both upper and lower limbs. The conducting pathway of sympathetic skin response in the spinal cord for the upper limbs descends to the upper thoracic cord (T4-6), and the conducting pathway for the lower limbs departs from the spinal cord at the lower thoracic cord (T9-10). Conclusion. It appears that sympathetic skin response should be used for the evaluation and morbid investigation of the functional abnormalities of the sympathetic nervous system in patients with spinal cord lesions such as spinal cord injuries, cervical spondylosis, and spinal canal stenosis.

“…The technique, used by many authors since, measures changes in skin voltage and recording from surface electrodes placed on the hands 5,6 and feet 5,6 and was later adapted to include genital recording as well. 7 ± 10 The triggering stimulus, originally involving median 3,6,11 ± 13 and tibial 14 ± 16 nerve stimulation, was also adapted to include suborbital 16 and dorsal penile nerve 9 stimulation.…”

Sympathetic skin responses and psychogenic erections in spinal cord injured men

et al. 1998

Sympathetic skin responses (SSR) are a simple procedure to investigate sympathetic activity. More speci®cally, SSR elicited from median nerve stimulation and recorded from the feet and genitals assess sympathetic activity resulting from thoracic-lumbar (TL) innervation. Since TL innervation is also involved in the mediation of psychogenic erection in spinal cord injured men, this study investigated the relationship between SSR and psychogenic erection in spinal cord injured subjects. The results support a general association between SSR and psychogenic erection and show that subjects who maintain SSR responses in the feet and genitals generally maintain psychogenic erections as well. Inconsistent cases are discussed from a theoretical and clinical perspective and overall results are discussed in terms of their clinical application in the evaluation of sexual function in spinal cord injured men.

“…In healthy individuals, the latency values from the hands are relatively lower than the latency values from the legs [9,16,17]. The amplitude values of the hands are relatively higher than that of the legs.…”

“…In order to avoid the adaptation to stimuli, the duration between the two stimuli should be at least 30 to 60 seconds [20]. Total duration of the test should not exceed 15 minutes [25]. The stimulus intensity is normally between 10-30 mA, but it should be applied based on patients' tolerance to the stimulus intensity.…”

This article aims to introduce readers to a recent research topic, sympathetic skin response (SSR). The article provides information on the historical development of sympathetic response since the late 19th century. The article also includes information on the identification of naturally existed amplitude and latency values and classification based on these values, international measurement techniques with the studies conducted within the last hundred years, the factors effecting these measurements according to the studies conducted, and criteria used in the evaluation of the data obtained. In addition, information is given about the studies that have been made.
