METHOD OF NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF L5 SENSORY RADICULOPATHY IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61B5/383 

FIELD: medicine; neurology; neurosurgery; neurophysiology.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to detect L5 sensory radiculopathy in children. The method includes conducting a study of somatosensory evoked potentials in response to stimulation of the tibial and deep peroneal nerves with registration of the P38 cortical potential, followed by comparison of the obtained values. If the latency value of the cortical potential P38 during stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve is exceeded, the latency value of P38 during stimulation of the tibial nerve diagnoses the presence of L5 sensory radiculopathy in children.

EFFECT: method allows to provide a high degree of detection of sensory radiculopathy and an objective assessment of L5 sensory root dysfunction in children due to registration of a more stable P38 cortical potential and direct stimulation of the nerves anatomically associated with the diagnosed segment.
