Multimodal evoked potential in monitoring activity relapsing and remitting multiple sclerosis

The aim of the study was to examine multimodal evoked potential in patients with or without relapse multiple sclerosis during 12 month. Material and Methods. The study included 32 patients with established diagnosis of clinically significant multiple sclerosis, a relapsing-remitting course. The EDSS score was evaluated. All patients underwent a study of multimodal evoked potential. All examined patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the relapse multiple sclerosis by the end of the year. Results. Multimodal evoked potentials show ambiguous data on the activity of multiple sclerosis. The greatest correlation with subsequent activity of multiple sclerosis is shown by stem evoked potentials. Conclusion. This study is the initial stage in the search for a tool for predicting the course of the disease in patients with multiple sclerosis. An increase in the group of subjects and inclusion in the analysis of structural changes in the central nervous system according to magnetic resonance imaging probably will increase the information content of predictions.
