Abstract

By demonstrating an immediate increase in infrared emission after application of transcutaneous nerve stimulation, a definite increase in cutaneous heat in the area distal to the stimulation is established. This represents indirect evidence of cutaneous vasodilatation and hence, decreased sympathetic tone.
