[Progress in the study of pain-related somatosensory evoked potentials].
Important progresses has been made in the study of pain-related somatosensory evoked potentials (pain SEP) in the past decades. Pain generating stimulation techniques in humans are used in combination with the methodology of evoked electrical brain potentials. The current review will discuss stimulation techniques, components of evoked potentials, dipole source analysis of evoked potentials with the recent study of pain SEP.
