Expanded disability status scale in Multiple Sclerosis: Relationship to visual evoked potential

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence in Iraq is 11.73/100,000 it causes disability younger adults. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) can monitor MS while Visually Evoked Potentials (VEP) serves as a marker of myelination. Objectives: To explore the relationship between EDSS and VEPs multiple patients. Patients Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted Ghazi Al- Hariri Hospital from first Nov 2021 till end Jan 2022. Fifty patients with were compared to 50 healthy individuals. Data collected using structured questionnaire, P100 latency measured VEP. The Correlation used investigate P100- latencies EDSS. P value ≤0.05 considered significant. Results: average age cases 33.5±8.01 years, mean 2.8±2.86. significant difference period reported. showed positive correlation period. Conclusions: Using non-invasive procedures like help detect deterioration improvement
