Abstract :

Thyroid disorders are common endocrinological disorder and alteration in thyroid hormones level cause impairment in central and peripheral nervous system. We are aimed to assess the sensory nerve conduction study and level of cognition in subjects with various thyroid hormone levels i.e euthyroid, hyperthyroid, hypothyroid. This study is performed in three groups and thirty two male patients in each group. The Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) is administered for cognitive assessment. Sensory nerve conduction study is recorded using Nihon Kohden–Neuro Pack machine. Statistical analysis is done by using t test using OpenEpi software for compå between two groups. MMSE scoring shows that all the components of cognition are affected significantly in hypothyroid group and nonsignificant decrease in hyperthyroid group. Sensory nerve conduction study shows significant prolongation of latency and decrease in the conduction velocity and amplitude response of both the nerves in hypothyroid group compared to control group.
