title: [Measure of skin resistance (dermatophoria) in children with headaches (author's transl)].
abstract: In 1942 a curve of skin conductibility to direct current was described in Prague. It is a slow or steep rising of intensity in the few seconds following the introduction of the 12 V current to the hand from the dorsum to the palm. This method has been called dermatophoria. This curve is characteristical for a given individual and it is different in paretic (central and peripheral) limbs, generally more flat. In children the curves are steeper. However, abnormally steep there are in 57% of juvenile vasomotor headaches. Dermatophoria is therefore promising to be an objective method in diagnosis of children's headache.
