Abstract :

Background : Detection of central neuropathy at different frequencies using ain Stem Evoked Response Audiometry has rarely been studied

Objectives: Evaluation of central neuropathy in T2DM patients

Material and Methods–Thirty five T2DM patients (age group 30–50 years) of both sexes and age, sex and BMI matched thirty five healthy controls were evaluated for Brain Stem Evoked Response .

Wave latencies(ms) I,III and V and Inter peak latencies(ms) I–III, I–V and III–V at 80 db using 2,4 and 6 KHz frequency was measured by RMS EMG SALUS 2C Electromyogrph . Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 16 and Z–test was used to derive the level of significance.

Results: Wave latencies I,III,V and Interpeak latencies I–III,I–V,III–V is found to be non significant at 2000 and 4000 Hz. Wave latency III in both the ears is found to be highly significant at 6000 Hz. Wave latency V is found to be significant in Left ear and highly significant in Right ear at 6000Hz. Interpeak latency I–III is found to be highly significant in both the ears at 6000Hz.Interpeak latency I–V is significant in both the ears at 6000Hz.Wave latency I and Interpeak latency III–V is found to be non significant in both the ear at 6000Hz.

Conclusion: Increase in wave latency and interpeak latency inT2DM subjects put these patients at a higher risk for central neuropathy.
