[A significant increase in superficial sensation, a number of years after a peripheral neurologic lesion, using transcutaneous vibratory stimulation].

A patient with sensory changes in the territory of the ulnar nerve due to a partial nerve lesion 19 years previously, was treated by Transcutaneous Vibratory Stimulation. The effectiveness of this treatment was verified by subjective criteria and by the following tests: Moving and Static Two-Point discrimination Test, Light-touch-Deep-pressure (Semmes-Weinstein) Test, Ninhydrin sweat Test and Wrinkle Test. These tests document both a marked improvement in superficial sensitivity and partial regulation of sympathetic nervous system function.
