Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are an essential aspect of the assessment of patients with
peripheral neuropathies. However, conventional NCS do not reflect activation of small …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST), a set of noninvasive methods used to assess sensory
and pain perception, has been used for three decades. The precision of the instruments and …

Introduction There is a need for simple and cheap diagnostic tools for diabetic
polyneuropathy (DPN). We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the 5.07/10 g …

Background and aims Currently there is a lack of large population studies that have
investigated pain sensitivity distributions in healthy pain free people. The aims of this study …

Aims Sensory neuropathy is central to the development of painful neuropathy, and foot
ulceration in patients with diabetes. Currently, available QST devices take considerable time …

Objective Thermal quantitative sensory testing with the 'Method-of-Limits' is an established
rationale for detection of small nerve fiber dysfunction, but adequate reference values are …

Objective Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) has been associated with neuropathy.
This study employs nerve excitability studies to re-examine this association and attempt to …

Introduction The laser Doppler imaging (LDI) FLARE and corneal confocal microscopy
(CCM) are reliable markers of small fibre function (SFF) and structure (SFS), respectively …

Abstract Background and Objectives Somatosensory function is critical for successful aging.
Prior studies have shown declines in somatosensory function with age; however, this may …

Background: Accurate and economic detection of nerve damage in diabetes is key to more
widespread diagnosis of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and painful …
