To study the recovery of somatosensory deficits after acute stroke. ⋯ The recovery of subjective sensory disturbance occurred in line with the improvement of the clinical sensory tests and QST. The most sensitive measure for somatosensory dysfunction at the early phase was graphesthesia. In our patients, initially normal SEP with a sensory deficit resulted in excellent clinical recovery, whereas initially absent SEP did not necessarily predict poor outcome.
