A Clinical Evaluation of DITI and Neurometer for the Diagnosis of Cold Hypersensitivity

냉증 진단을 위한 DITI와 말초신경검사의 임상적 평가

Purpose This study is to examine of Neurometer for the diagnosis of cold hypersensitivity Method Among patients who visited the oriental gynecological department in Kangnam Korean Hospital from October. 2000 to December. 2000, 37 women were diagnosed as cold hypersensitivity by D.I.T.I. We measured the limbs' temperature by D.I.T.I. and Current perception threshold(CPT) of median N., ulnar N., radial N., peroneal N., sural N., tibial N., saphenous N. by neurometer Patients were divided into mild and severe group depending on the temperature difference between proximalis and distalis in limbs Result and Conclusion 1. In severe group, CPT of median N., ulnar N., radial N. was higher on 250Hz and 200Hz. 2. In severe group, Mean CPT of peroneal N., sural N., tibial N., saphenous N. was higher on every Hz.
