Clinical analysis on sympathetic skin response in cerebral thrombosis with no more than 60 years old / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the change of sympathetic skin response (SSR) in patients with cerebral thrombosis with no more than 60 years old. Method SSR was measured in four positions of the center of hand palm and foot palm of 40 normal controls ( control group ) and 56 cerebral thrombosis patients (cerebral thrombosis group) no more than 60 years old. Results SSR wave shape was all educed in control group,but 21 limbs (21/224,9.4%) were not educed in cerebral thrombosis group, SSR abnormality was 80 limbs (35.7% ). SSR's latency in cerebral thrombosis group was obviously prolonged as compared with control group,and the amplitudes of SSR of upper limps and lower limbs had significance between two groups (P< 0.05 or < 0.01). There were serious abnormity within 3 days to 2 months after cerebral thrombosis. Conclusion SSR is a sensitive diagnosis method for the autonomic neuropathy of cerebral thrombosis patients of no more than 60 years old.
