Effects of attention, distraction and sleep on CO(2) laser evoked potentials related to C-fibers in humans.

Abstract Extract:
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of attention, distraction and sleep on CO(2) laser-evoked potentials (LEP) relating to C-fibers (ultra-late LEP).METHODS: Non-painful CO(2) laser pulses were delivered to a tiny skin area ... (Full abstract text below)
