Objective: Studies on the relationship between cerebral blood flow velocities and event related potential (ERP)
changes in non-dementia multiple sclerosis (MS) are completely lacking. The aim of the present study was to evaluate
the association between cerebral blood flow velocities and ERP parameters in MS patients.
Methods: 30 patients (8 male, 22 female,) with a mean age of 37 ± 8 years (range: 21-56) with a diagnosis of
relapsing remitting MS according to Mc Donald’s criteria were included. Their mean EDSS score was 1.8 ± 1.7 (range:
0-5.5) and mean duration of disease was 70 ± 64 (range: 3-228) months. The patients were subdivided according to
their mean disease duration. The group with the shorter disease duration comprised 15 MS patients who had been
diagnosed with MS for less than 5 years(MS-short), an.. View More»
