The threshold tracking nerve conduction study technique: Experience of clinical users unfamiliar with a research-grade neuronal excitability system.

Objective: To 1) explore if clinical electrophysiologists with different degrees of experience performing standard nerve conduction studies could run a threshold tracking nerve conduction study (TTNCS) protocol and 2) learn how clinical users view a research-grade TTNCSs neuronal excitability system.

Methods: Five clinical electrophysiologists conducted a TTNCS session using QTracS and then completed a questionnaire describing their impressions.

Results: All of the electrophysiologists completed the QTracS protocol on an initial attempt.
