At the start of the appointment you may be asked to remove your shoes and outer upper garments in order for there to be space for the application of detection electrodes. Detection electrodes will be glued to various spots on the neck, back and scalp of the patient. A generator is used to generate small electrical impulses along the nerves in your wrist or ankle. These impulses may cause little twitches but are not painful. As the patient, we encourage you to listen carefully to all instructions and stay relaxed in order to guarantee optimal results. All responses will be recorded through special equipment. Following the procedure, you will be able to put any clothing or shoes on that you removed and go straight home. The doctor will discuss results of your test with you after they have been analysed. If you have any other questions about the Somatosensory Evoked Potential procedure, do not hesitate to contact us, we would be happy to help.
