Re:Evoke potentials testing

[Guest guest]

I have had this done awhile back trying to determine central nerve damage. Will

show any breakdown in signal from brain/spinal cord to the rest of body, like

the legs/arms/etc. They were ruling out MS at that time. Then more recent my

neuro did evoked to check for central nerve malfunction to my legs. I have

thoracic syrinx, no ACM.

It is painless. They use a set up kinda like EEG with electrodes. Not at all

like nerve conduction test with the needle--that is for determining peripheral

nerve damage. Evoked Potentials are ordered a lot for MS patients to determine

progression of damage and what bodily functions are affected. Best I remember,

been awhile.

Someone else may have better info on the test. I'd go for it. Mine did " prove "

to SS that I have nerve damage to legs. I ain't been faking it or imagining it!!
