repetitive nerve stimulation

repetitive nerve stimulation
repeated supramaximal stimulation of a motor nerve while recording the M wave of its muscle to note any changes in the wave. Types of responses include the decrementing response, incrementing response, postactivation exhaustion, and postactivation facilitation.
