Electrodiagnosis of autonomic nervous system involvement and cognitive impairment can be challenging in AIT. However, EMG reaction times and SSRs are practical and useful tools that are often overlooked. On the other hand, SSRs may be combined with more quantitative tests, such as sudomotor axon reflex testing, to allow us to better determine the extent of involvement of the autonomic nervous system in AIT.
