The brain of a person with MS often responds less actively to stimulation of the [[optic nerve]] and [[sensory neuron|sensory nerves]]. These brain responses can be examined using [[visual evoked potential]]s (VEPs) and [[Sensory evoked potentials|somatosensory evoked potentials]] (SEPs). Decreased activity on either test can reveal demyelination which may be otherwise asymptomatic. Along with other data, these exams can help find the widespread nerve involvement required for a definite diagnosis of MS.<ref>Gronseth GS; Ashman EJ.

Overview

visual evoked potential studies, antimyelin antibodies, and optimal coherence tomography may be helpful in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies for Multiple sclerosis disease include:

  • Optimal coherence tomography: Optimal coherence tomography of the retina can be helpful in diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.[8]
