Low test–retest reliability of a protocol for assessing somatosensory cortex excitability generated from sensory nerves of the lower back

In people with chronic low back pain (CLBP), maladaptive structural and functional changes on a cortical level have been identified. On a functional level, somatosensory cortical excitability has been shown to be reduced in chronic pain conditions, resulting in cortical disinhibition. The occurrence...
