The introduction of the pattern-evoked response and of far field recording of the auditory and somatosensory short latency responses has provided to major advances in the clinical application of evoked potentials. The sensitivity of the pattern response in the detection of minimal lesions of the visual pathways is now well established, and makes the test of particular value in the diagnosis of demyelinating disease and in the early detection of compressive lesions. The short latency auditory and somatosensory responses also show a high incidence of abnormalities in demyelinating disease. The technique will not compete directly with such well established methods as audiometry and perimetry, but it can provide valuable additional information, not accessible to these methods, particularly where the lesions are clinically silent or inconspicuous.
模式诱发反应以及听觉和躯体感觉短潜伏期反应的远场记录技术的引入，为诱发电位在临床应用方面带来了两大进展。模式反应在检测视觉通路微小病变方面的敏感性现已得到充分证实，这使得该检测在脱髓鞘疾病的诊断以及压迫性病变的早期检测中具有特殊价值。短潜伏期听觉和躯体感觉反应在脱髓鞘疾病中也显示出较高的异常发生率。该技术不会直接与听力测定和视野检查等成熟方法竞争，但它可以提供这些方法无法获取的有价值的额外信息，特别是在病变在临床上无症状或不明显的情况下。
