SSEP
🧠 What is an SSEP Test?
Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) is a non-invasive neurodiagnostic test that measures how sensory signals travel through the nerves, spinal cord, and brain.
Small electrical stimuli are applied to the arms or legs, and electrodes on the scalp and spine record the brain’s response. This test is especially useful in detecting nerve conduction issues, spinal cord injuries, and neurological diseases that may not show up on imaging alone.
✅ When is SSEP Recommended?
Multiple sclerosis
Spinal cord injuries or lesions
Cervical or lumbar radiculopathy
Coma or unresponsive patients (prognosis testing)
Post-operative spinal monitoring
Suspected peripheral nerve or brainstem dysfunction

🧪 How the SSEP Test Works
At Palkash Neurocare, we ensure comfort and precision during SSEP testing.
The Process:
Mild electrical pulses are delivered to nerves in the arms or legs.
Electrodes on the scalp, spine, and limbs detect how long it takes for the signal to reach the brain.
Delays or abnormalities help identify nerve pathway disruptions.
The entire test is painless, takes about 30–60 minutes, and is interpreted by a specialist neurologist.
