title: [Somatosensory potentials in hemiparkinsonism].
abstract: For a trial of explaining of the occurrence of sensory symptoms in Parkinson's disease evoked somatosensory potentials were studied in 10 patients with hemiparkinsonism and paraesthesiae on the side of the parkinsonian signs. Somatosensory evoked potentials were compared after stimulation of the median nerve on the side of parkinsonian signs with those obtained after stimulation of this nerve on the asymptomatic side. No statistically significant differences were found in the latency of various components of the evoked potentials between both sides of the body. Only slight differences were observed in the morphology of the evoked potentials which were difficult for statistical interpretation.
