摘要:The primary purpose of this study was to examine the reproducibility of sympathetic skin response (SSR), an index of activity level of sweat glands, by using healthy young females. Standard deviation of amplitude of SSR was the largest in the subjects who received electric stimuli at intervals of 10 sec, and was almost the same in those at intervals of over 20 sec. The latent period and amplitude showed no daily variation and slight difference among the measured days. SSR wave exhibited no change between before and after menstruation. The present findings indicate that the reproducibility of SSR wave is relatively high in a healthy young female who receives electric stimuli at intervals of over 20 sec, irrespective of the time of day and menstruation.
