The evaluation of small fiber function-autonomic and quantitative sensory testing

Christopher Gibbons et al. Neurol Clin. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

Disorders of the autonomic and small nerve fibers comprise a wide spectrum of disease states that cross a multitude of clinical specialties.The evaluation of these disorders allows the investigator to determine the presence or absence of abnormalities in the lightly myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers with minimal discomfort to the patient. The severity of dysfunction also can be determined to guide therapy and aid in prognostication for individual patients.
