Abstract

Sensorimotor dysfunction is mainly considered for the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. Autonomic small C-Fibers innervating sweat glands are thin, long, unmyelinated and can be damaged very early in diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has suggested that sudomotor function should be included in diagnostic tests for neuropathies detection in diabetes but lack of simple, and quick methods restricted the widespread of such examination. The aim of this study was to evaluate SUDOSCAN a new quick, non-invasive, quantitative method to measure sudomotor dysfunction as a screening tool for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
