Prolonged focal application of polyethylene glycol induces conduction block in guinea pig spinal cord white matter

In summary, our results show that focal continuous application of PEG has minimal toxicity if applied for less than 5 min. Pulsatile application could extend this duration to at least 25 min with no toxicity. This study could be useful in determining the optimal protocol for the use of PEG in both animal research and human spinal cord victims.
