A test of the brain using electrical stimulation to look at reactions of body sensations relating to the body's superficial and deep parts as contrasted to specialized senses such as sight. Responses to these tests are used in evaluations of neurological diseases.
study of nerves to assess their functional state
A painless, diagnostic test that records electrical changes in the brain in response to repeated electrical shocks applied to a peripheral nerve. - This test is useful in the diagnosis of MS because it can confirm the presence of a suspected lesion, which was not shown by a MRI scan, or identify the existence of an unsuspected lesion that has not produced any symptoms.
The stimulation of nerves at different points where surface electrode are placed and recordings made, to find out the proximal sensory conduction in (mainly) proprioceptive fibers, including spinal nerve root, tracts in the spinal cord, and brain stem.
An electrical test of the nerves involved in sensation, which gives some information about peripheral nerve, spinal cord, and brain function.
Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs) are used in neuromonitoring to asses the function of a patient's spinal cord during surgery. They are recorded by stimulating peripheral nerves, most commonly the posterior tibial nerve, or ulnar nerve, typically with an electrical stimulus. The stimulus is then recorded from the patient's scalp.
