Small fiber neuropathy is a specific diagnostic classification of neuropathy, which is nerve damage, disease, or dysfunction. It can result in pain, loss of sensation, and digestive and urinary ...

Diagnosis of patients suffering from small-fiber neuropathy is a challenging task and requires accurate measurement of the density of nerve fibers crossing the dermal-epidermal junction in the skin.

Diabetic Neuropathy, Epidermal Nerve Fiber Density, LMF-MC-PP, Monofilament Testing, Small Nerve Fibers 1. Introduction Diabetic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) is prevalent among the ...

Correlations for interobserver reliability for epidermal nerve fiber density were strong (CI, 0.875 to 0.921; P ≤.001), which were consistent with good interobserver agreement. Reduction in IEFNDs, ...

Correlations for interobserver reliability for epidermal nerve fiber density were strong (CI, 0.875 to 0.921; P ≤.001), which were consistent with good interobserver agreement.

In this cohort, 95% were women, and 55% had either TS-HDS or FGFR-3 antibodies (77% of these had TS-HDS). Of the seropositive group, 41% had a nonlength dependent epidermal nerve fiber density on skin ...

Researchers found more severe neuropathy — specifically, small fiber damage to the skin and cornea — in patients with type 1 diabetes who experienced painful diabetic neuropathy as opposed to ...

Researchers found more severe neuropathy — specifically, small fiber damage to the skin and cornea — in patients with type 1 diabetes who experienced painful diabetic neuropathy as opposed to those ...

While small-fiber pathology is common in patients with fibromyalgia, it has no significant effect on the somatosensory system function and most likely has no major role in the symptoms of the disease, ...

The study sample included 57 patients (54 women; mean age 45.9±9.9 years) with fibromyalgia, including 18 patients with evidence of small-fiber pathology with a reduction in intraepidermal nerve ...
