Article
Electrodiagnostic Evaluation of Meralgia Paresthetica
by Jernej Avsenik and Simon Podnar
NeuroSci 2025, 6(3), 58; https://doi.org/10.3390/neurosci6030058 (registering DOI) - 22 Jun 2025
Abstract
Background: We aimed to determine the utility of different electrodiagnostic (EDx) methods in diagnosing meralgia paresthetica (MP). Methods: Twenty-nine MP patients and 26 controls were included. Sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) [...] Read more.
Background: We aimed to determine the utility of different electrodiagnostic (EDx) methods in diagnosing meralgia paresthetica (MP). Methods: Twenty-nine MP patients and 26 controls were included. Sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) and tibial SEPs were measured bilaterally. Results: At least one LFCN SNAP was unobtainable in 18 patients (62%) and two controls (8%). In all remaining 11 patients, SNAPs were abnormal at least unilaterally. By contrast, LFCN SEPs were recorded bilaterally in all subjects and were abnormal in 16 patients (sensitivity 48%). Patients’ tibial SEP latency was significantly larger than that of controls (p < 0.001). Conclusions: LFCN NCSs are superior to SEP in the evaluation of MP. However, SEP studies may be useful in old (>60 years) and obese subjects with unobtainable LFCN SNAP. Longer tibial SEP points to subclinical neuropathy in MP patients predisposed to LFCN entrapment.

At the 14th Panhellenic Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease and 6th Mediterranean Conference on neurodegenerative diseases, we experienced an exciting journey, following the patient through the stages of their neurodegenerative disease: onset, diagnosis, progression, and eventual outcome. Fighting alongside him are researchers, doctors, psychologists, biologists, chemists, pharmacists, nurses, trainers, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, electrical engineers, architects, and other scientists, even actors and musicians, who aim to prevent and cure the disease, limit its progression, and improve the quality of life of those affected by it. Among them, their caregivers stand out as the most dedicated companions. In a collection of abstracts that reflects the work of all of the above, we capture the results of our biennial scientific meeting, which, thanks to them, is constantly evolving in a promising way.
