Concentric needle electrode for neuromuscular jitter analysis.
Muscle & Nerve 2000 May
We used a concentric needle electrode (CNE) with 2 kHZ low-cut filter and a single fiber electrode (SFE) in the same subjects for neuromuscular jitter measurement in the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and orbicularis oculi (OOc) muscles. At the same session, 20 jitter values were obtained from each subject with each electrode. For EDC (during voluntary contraction), mean jitter values with SFE and CNE were 23.4 +/- 8 micros and 23.3 +/- 8 micros in 10 normals; and 56.8 +/- 28 micros and 57.4 +/- 33 micros in 10 myasthenics. For OOc (during electrical stimulation), mean jitter values with SFE and CNE were 17.9 +/- 5 micros and 16.3 +/- 4 micros in 11 normal subjects, and 41.2 +/- 29 micros and 36.7 +/- 27 micros in 10 myasthenics. For both muscles, the numbers of individual abnormal jitter values with SFE and CNE were highly comparable. Both needles labeled the same patients as having "normal" or "abnormal" neuromuscular transmission. CNE may be an alternative to SFE in neuromuscular jitter analysis.
