Introduction: The impact of small‐fiber neuropathy (SFN) on patients' quality of life (QOL) has not been studied extensively. Our aim was to determine the impact of SFN on QOL and examine possible determinants. Methods: We examined a total of 265 patients diagnosed with SFN. The SFN Symptoms Inventory Questionnaire (SFN‐SIQ), the pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the generic SF‐36 Health Survey...
IntroductionContact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) may be an objective, non‐invasive diagnostic tool in small‐fiber neuropathy (SFN). This study establishes normal CHEP values and examines their applicability in SFN patients. Methods: Standardized CHEPs were administered at the wrist and ankle. The N2 and P2 latencies and N2–P2 peak–peak amplitude were recorded by electroencephalography. We examined...
Introduction: We examined optimization of a temperature threshold testing (TTT) protocol for patients with suspected small‐fiber neuropathy (SFN) to lessen the burden for both patients and technicians, without sacrificing accuracy. Methods: Data from 81 patients with SFN (skin biopsy and TTT abnormal) and 81 without SFN (skin biopsy and TTT normal) were used. Warm, cold, and heat pain sensation thresholds...
