Summary:

The aim of the study was to examine multimodal evoked potential in patients with or without relapse
multiple sclerosis during 12 month. Material and Methods. The study included 32 patients with
established diagnosis of clinically significant multiple sclerosis, a relapsing-remitting course. The EDSS
score was evaluated. All patients underwent a study of multimodal evoked potential. All examined
patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the relapse multiple sclerosis by the end of the year.
Results. Multimodal evoked potentials show ambiguous data on the activity of multiple sclerosis. The
greatest correlation with subsequent activity of multiple sclerosis is shown by stem evoked potentials.
Conclusion. This study is the initial stage in the search for a tool for predicting the course of the disease
in patients with multiple sclerosis. An increase in the group of subjects and inclusion in the analysis of
structural changes in the central nervous system according to magnetic resonance imaging probably will
increase the information content of predictions.
