One hundred and two patients with suspected or established multiple sclerosis (MS) were investigated by one or more of the following techniques: measurement of visual evoked potentials (VEP); measurement of cervical and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP); measurement of horizontal saccadic eye movement velocities (SV); and computerised axial tomography of the cranium and orbits (CT). Each of the techniques was valuable in detecting abnormalities, some of which were subclinical, in many patients. More abnormalities were found in patients studied by more than one technique, the most being detected in patients who were studied by all five techniques. We conclude that the techniques have a complementary role in investigating suspected MS.
102例疑似或确诊为多发性硬化症（MS）的患者接受了以下一种或多种技术检查：视觉诱发电位（VEP）测量；颈部和皮层体感诱发电位（SEP）测量；水平扫视眼动速度（SV）测量；以及头颅和眼眶计算机断层扫描（CT）。每种技术在检测许多患者的异常情况（其中一些为亚临床异常）方面都很有价值。采用多种技术进行研究的患者发现的异常更多，采用所有五种技术进行研究的患者检测到的异常最多。我们得出结论，这些技术在疑似MS的调查中具有互补作用。
