The voltages for the thresholds for onset of paraesthesia and for pain or motor responses were recorded, as were the areas of paraesthesia produced.
The aim of the analysis was to relate patterns of stimulation-induced paraesthesias to the position of the electrodes in the spine.
By contrast, it was particularly difficult to obtain stimulation-induced paraesthesias at sites covered by the C-2 distribution (the ipsilateral posterior occipital area and the angle of the jaw) and on the neck, the low back, and the perineum.

 Paresthesia (Pins and Needles) - Back Pain - Conditions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Paraesthesia is usually caused by a lack of blood supply to (and pressure on) the nerves in the arms or legs.
Most people have experienced this form of the condition – the paraesthesia is usually temporary, and goes away when the pressure on the limb is removed (and the blood supply returns).
Paraesthesia can also be caused pressure on the spinal cord itself (specifically, pressure on the dura mater – the outer-most sheath, or meninx, of the spinal cord); a number of spinal conditions can lead to this.

Reports to ADRAC appear to indicate that paraesthesia (including the related symptoms of hypoaesthesia and hyperaesthesia) is a class effect of NSAIDs as there have been cases with all NSAIDs ranging from naproxen with 28 reports to diflunisal with one report.

 Re: Why do you feel the prickly feeling after releasing pressure on a nerve
A paraesthesia is a non-painful sensory phenomenon which occurs in the absence of natural stimulation of sensory receptors.
It turns out that the numbness, tingling and paralysis caused by mild, temporary nerve compression is not due to the compression of the nerve per se, but is rather due to cutting off the blood supply to the nerve.
The reason that ischemia causes paraesthesia is that eliminating a nerve's blood supply changes the excitability of the nerve.
