OBJECTIVE We retrospectively investigated the utility of the central motor conduction time (CMCT) in detecting upper motor neuron (UMN) involvements in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS Fifty-two ALS patients and 12 disease control patients participated in this study. Surface electromyograms were recorded from the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles. We stimulated the motor cortex, brainstem, and spinal nerve using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in order to measure the cortical, brainstem, and spinal latencies. We divided the ALS patients into 2 subgroups (with UMN impairment vs. without UMN impairment) and calculated the rates of abnormal CMCT prolongation judged by their comparison with the normal ranges obtained by the measurement in the control patients. RESULTS The CMCTs in the FDI and TA were abnormally prolonged in over 40% of the ALS patients with UMN impairment and in nearly 30% of those without UMN impairment. CONCLUSIONS CMCT shows UMN dysfunction in ALS patients without clinical UMN impairment. SIGNIFICANCE TMS still has diagnostic utility in a significant portion of ALS patients.

中枢运动传导时间显示,在很大一部分肌萎缩侧索硬化患者中,上运动神经元受累被下运动神经元损伤掩盖

目的 我们回顾性研究了中枢运动传导时间 (CMCT) 在检测肌萎缩侧索硬化 (ALS) 患者上运动神经元 (UMN) 受累中的效用。方法 52 名 ALS 患者和 12 名疾病对照患者参加了这项研究。从第一背侧骨间 (FDI) 和胫骨前 (TA) 肌肉记录表面肌电图。我们使用经颅磁刺激 (TMS) 刺激运动皮层、脑干​​和脊神经,以测量皮层、脑干​​和脊髓的潜伏期。我们将 ALS 患者分为 2 个亚组(有 UMN 损伤与无 UMN 损伤),并计算异常 CMCT 延长率,通过与对照患者测量获得的正常范围进行比较来判断。结果 在超过 40% 的有 UMN 损伤的 ALS 患者和近 30% 的无 UMN 损伤的 ALS 患者中,FDI 和 TA 中的 CMCT 异常延长。结论 CMCT 显示无临床 UMN 损伤的 ALS 患者存在 UMN 功能障碍。意义 TMS 在很大一部分 ALS 患者中仍然具有诊断效用。
