Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring has become increasingly important in interventions involving risk of damage to the nervous system. We aim to provide an overview of possibilities and limitations on the use of intraoperative neurophysiological methods. ⋯ Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is dependent on good cooperation between neurophysiologists, surgeons, anaesthetists and the other specialities involved.

Review[Microneurography and research on peripheral neuropathic pain].
Microneurography is a neurophysiological technique which enables recording from single peripheral nerve fibres in persons who are awake. The method is only used in research. We discuss how microneurography has been used to map nerve-fibre functions under normal circumstances and in chronic pain conditions. ⋯ In the longer term we hope that research using microneurography will help to reveal mechanisms of direct importance for the development of targeted treatment of neuropathic pain.
