Evoked Potentials
View through CrossRef
Visual evoked potentials, brainstem auditory evoked potentials, and somatosensory evoked potentials are established clinical tests that are useful for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Motor evoked potentials, cognitive event-related potentials, and vestibular evoked potentials also are used clinically to test additional pathways and functions. These objective, reproducible tools can identify clinically silent lesions, predict clinical deterioration risk, and localize levels of impairment. They differ from magnetic resonance imaging in that they assess function rather than anatomy and thereby fill a complementary role in clinical care. They also are useful in therapeutic trials because they can predict outcomes in parallel with, or earlier than, clinical examinations.
