      Hi,
      When testing sharp/dull, are we testing DCML or spinalthalamic?
      When testing light touch for SCI are we testing DCML or Spinalthalamic?
      When testing pin prick for SCI, are we testing DCML or Spinalthalamic?

      Somehow i’m getting myself confused

      Hi Karen,

      Sharp/dull = spinothalamic
      Light touch = DCML
      Pinprick = sharp/dull = spinothalamic

      Thanks! That helps.
      Just one more…
      Would monofilament testing be DCML or Spinalthalamic?
