Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how prior relaxation affects the quality of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) recordings in patients undergoing examination for upper limb conditions. Patients will receive a 15-minute relaxation session led by a trained nurse before their SSEP test. The study aims to compare the results of SSEP recordings between those who received relaxation and those who did not, focusing on the impact of relaxation on signal quality and patient experience. The goal is to determine if relaxation can enhance the accuracy and comfort of the examination process.
