Clinical TrialVibration sense testing with a 128-Hz tuning fork as a tool to determine recovery from epidural neuraxial block.
Vibration sense testing using a 128-Hz tuning fork is a commonly used test in the diagnosis of dorsal horn dysfunction and polyneuropathy. In this open, prospective study, we tested the hypothesis that vibration sense testing is a sensitive and specific method to assess recovery from epidural block. ⋯ Based on our observations, recovery of vibration sense corresponds with recovery of motor block after epidural anesthesia and may serve as an easy means of documenting recovery with a single test before discharge.
