Somatosensory evoked potential in clinical application.docVIP

Somatosensory evoked potential in clinical application [Keywords:] somatosensory evoked potentials, clinical application; progress Somatosensory evoked potential (Somatosensory Evoked Potential, referred to as SEP) is a common one sensory evoked potentials, is when the sense organs, sensory nerves or sensory pathway stimulated at any point, in the central nervous system leads to the potential. It must extent, reflect the specific somatic sensory pathways, the reticular structure and function of state of the cerebral cortex [1]. At present, SEP mainly induced by pulsed current stimulation of the nature of the technique, intensity, duration, frequency and other parameters to be control, allows standardization of recording and analysis, and record the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis, so the SEP from traditional qualitative research into the accurate quantitative study. now somatosensory evoked potential in clinical application are summarized below. An early diagnosis of cerebral vascular disease Early diagnosis of cerebral vascular disease is a neurological rehabilitation medicine of the important issues. Their traditional way of checking only reflect the anatomy of the nervous system conditions, and can not well reflect the functional status of the nervous system, SEP can be to some extent make up for its lack of . application of the median nerve stimulation of the early SEP components generated by waves P15, N20 are relatively stable and specific characteristics of the clinical manifestations of unilateral upper and lower limb sensory disturbances in patients with SEP, it was discovered ipsilateral, contralateral and normal There was a significant difference between the value of quantitative analysis of early somatosensory cerebral vascular disease pathway in the central functional status, and assessed its brain in early diagnosis of vascular disease, suggesting that there are sub-clinical damage sensory pathway [1].
