Transcutaneous Median Nerve Stimulation Protocol for Eliciting Blink Reflex
Corresponding Organization : University of Turin
Other organizations : Neuroscience Institute
Variable analysis
- Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the right median nerve at the wrist using a bipolar surface electrode
- Blink reflex (HBR)
- Stimulus duration (200 μs)
- Inter-stimulus interval (~ 30 s)
- EMG activity recorded from the right orbicularis oculi muscle (ipsilateral to the stimulated hand) using a pair of bipolar surface electrodes
- Positive control: Increasing the stimulus intensity until a clear and stable HBR was observed in at least five consecutive trials.
- Negative control: Not mentioned.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
