The aim of this short communication was to provide an evidence-informed updated overview for use of evoked potentials in testing diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Studies had reported use of Heat-evoked potentials (HEP), Laser evoked potentials (LEP), and Multimodal evoked potentials (MmEP), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in patients with DPN. Reduced amplitude or prolonged latency or reduced velocity was a characteristic finding in one or more of these clinical test measures.
