Neurometer^® Neurosurgery Applications


Neurosurgeons use sNCT/CPT studies to monitor return of sensation after a nerve repair. The sNCT/CPT evaluation may be conducted at the skin or mucosal site innervated by repaired or transplanted nerve at approximately three month intervals following surgery to document return of sensation. sNCT/CPT studies are also used to evaluate radiculopathy and compressive neuropathies. Additionally, neurosurgeons use the sNCT evaluation to assist in guiding spinal surgery.
