Clinical and neurophysiological correlation in axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy
Abstract Background The neurophysiological examination provides valuable pathophysiological information for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of patients with polyneuropathy (Fuglsang- Fredriksen A., Pugdahl K. Clin Neurophysilogy 122:440–455, 2011). Nerve conduction study (NCS) is the most obje...

Methods In the present study, 125 patients with polyneuropathy were studied ranging age from 9 to 79 years. Thirty-six patients were classified as axonal polyneuropathy, 23 patients as demyelinating, and 9 as mixed, while 57 patients were classified as neuropathic.

Also, there is statistically significant inverse correlation between reduction in compound motor action potential (CMAP) amplitude and increase in distal motor latency (DML). There is statistically significant linear correlation between reduction in compound motor action potential (CMAP) amplitude and decrease in motor conduction velocity (MCV). There is statistically significant linear correlation between reduction in compound motor action potential (CMAP) amplitude and decreased grade of power in both axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy; statistically significant linear correlation was found between decrease in conduction velocity and decrease in grade of power.
