  • Title: [Infrared thermography and electroneuromyography in occupational polyneuropathy diagnosis].
    Author: Loginova NN, Voitenkov VB.
    Journal: Med Tr Prom Ekol; 2013; (8):46-8. PubMed ID: 24340763.
    Abstract:
    We have evaluated diagnostic value of the combination of infrared thermography and electromyography in professional polyneuropathy diagnosis. 20 patients with working-hand syndrome and 5 controls were enrolled. In 18 cases (90%) both methods were sensitive: on EMG CNV slowing and amplitudes drop were seen, as well as M-response shape changes, and thermography have detected focal hypothermia in hands in some cases and appearance of obscure hypothermia in others. Thus, both methods demonstrated good sensitivity. We recommend using thermography as a screening test and EMG as a following investigation.
