Elevated tactile thresholds following preferential block of C fibres in glabrous skin. Monofilament detection thresholds (mN) were measured in the distal palmar pad of little finger following treatments with normal saline and low-dose anaesthetic. Changes in individual detection thresholds are shown for saline (i.e. saline-control) and anaesthetic (i.e. anaesthetic-control) conditions with a line linking the ∆ saline and ∆ anaesthetic values. In all subjects, treatment with anaesthetic, but not saline, resulted in elevated thresholds for monofilament detection
