Evoked potential studies in neurological disorders.

    Summary

    Diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) can be improved using pattern reversal visual evoked response and spinal somatosensory evoked response tests. These methods detect sub-clinical sensory pathway abnormalities in suspected MS patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis relies on identifying neurological deficits.
    • Sub-clinical abnormalities in sensory pathways can precede overt symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of visual and somatosensory evoked responses in diagnosing neurological disorders.
    • To assess the effectiveness of these techniques in detecting sub-clinical sensory pathway dysfunction in suspected MS.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed and applied on-line computer techniques (PDP 11/40) for recording evoked responses.
    • Utilized pattern reversal visual evoked response and spinal somatosensory evoked response.
    • Applied techniques to patients with suspected MS, other visual pathway lesions, epilepsy, and functional deficits.

    Main Results:

    • Pattern reversal visual evoked response and spinal somatosensory evoked response yielded consistent results.
    • Abnormal responses were detected in a significant number of suspected MS patients, even without clinical signs.
    • These techniques identified sub-clinical abnormalities in visual and somatosensory pathways.

    Conclusions:

    • Pattern reversal visual evoked response and spinal somatosensory evoked response are valuable tools for detecting sensory pathway abnormalities.
    • These electrophysiological methods play a complementary role in the early detection of suspected MS.
    • The techniques aid in identifying sub-clinical conduction deficits in sensory pathways.
