Cord to cortex conduction in multiple sclerosis.

A Eisen, K Nudleman

    Neurology
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Central conduction times were prolonged in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, with electrophysiologic abnormalities detected even in asymptomatic individuals. Measuring somatosensory responses alone is as effective as indirect central conduction time measurements for MS diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system.
    • Accurate electrophysiologic assessment is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring MS progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of M-waves, F-waves, and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) in detecting central nervous system abnormalities in MS patients.
    • To compare the diagnostic yield of indirect central conduction time measurements with direct SSEP latency measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 30 controls and 28 MS patients.
    • Recorded M-waves, F-waves, and SSEPs from median and peroneal nerve stimulation.
    • Estimated central conduction times (CCT) and peripheral nerve conduction times.

    Main Results:

    • Significantly prolonged CCT observed in MS patients, with a 79% incidence of abnormalities.
    • Electrophysiologic abnormalities detected in 36% of asymptomatic arms and 16% of asymptomatic legs.
    • Diagnostic yield for SSEPs was 68%; indirect CCT measurements offered minimal additional diagnostic value.

    Conclusions:

    • Indirect CCT measurements using M- and F-waves provide limited added benefit over direct SSEP latency measurements for MS diagnosis.
    • Electrophysiologic testing, including SSEPs, is valuable for detecting subclinical neurological deficits in MS.
