Abstract. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are brain and spinal cord responses elicited by sensory stimuli. Most of the clinically used SSEPs are elicited by electrical stimulation to the peripheral nerve, although more natural stimuli such as pain or touch sensation can yield SSEPs.
What are somatosensory evoked potentials used for?
SEPs are used for clinical diagnosis in patients with neurologic diseases, to evaluate patients with sensory sympotoms that might be psychogenic, for prognostication in comatose patients, and for intraoperative monitoring during surgeries that place parts of the somatosensory pathways at risk.

What is a somatosensory evoked potential study?
An somatosensory evoked potention test (SEP) studies the relay of body sensations to your brain and how the brain receives those sensations. A stimulating electrode is placed on your arm or leg, and it generates an electrical signal. Recording electrodes are placed on your head and/or spine.
