Multimodal evoked potentials are useful for the diagnosis of pediatric acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

Background: The application of evoked potentials (EPs) to the diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM ) has not been investigated in detail. The aim of this study, therefore, was to analyze the value of multimodal EPs in the early diagnosis of pediatric ADEM.

Methods: This was a retrospective study in which we enrolled pediatric ADEM patients and controls (Cs) from neurology units between 2017 and 2021.

Evaluation of sympathetic skin response for early diagnosis and follow-up of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in children.

Background: The morbidity of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children is increasing and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the main microvascular complications of T1DM. The aim of this study was to explore sympathetic skin response (SSR) characteristics in children with T1DM and analyze the value of early diagnosis and follow-up in T1DM complicated with DPN.

Methods: Our prospective study enrolling 85 participants diagnosed with T1DM and 30 healthy controls (HCs) in the Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from 2017 to 2020.

Sympathetic skin response (SSR) in pediatric Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Introduction: In the present study, sympathetic skin response (SSR) characteristics were explored in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and the value of early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation in GBS complicated by autonomic dysfunction (AD) was evaluated.

Methods: A total of 25 children with GBS and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in this prospective study. SSR findings for the two groups were compared.
