Evoked potentials in clinical medicine

The Quarterly Journal of Medicine
M J Aminoff

Abstract

Recent technological advances have facilitated the conduct of evoked potential studies, and permitted their wider use in a clinical context. Evoked potential studies are performed to determine the presence, extent and site of disease of the peripheral and central sensory pathways. This may be helpful for diagnostic purposes, and for characterizing more completely the changes occurring in various diseases. Certain evoked potential components have also been used in the evaluation of cognitive function. The major uses and limitations of evoked potential studies in clinical medicine are reviewed, but technical details are not provided in the interest of simplicity.
