Autonomic and Small Fiber Neuropathy Testing

Autonomic and small fiber neuropathy testing helps diagnose damage to small nerve fibers, which can lead to a range of symptoms, including severe pain attacks, abnormal sweating, and issues with heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. These tests are crucial for identifying neuropathy early, especially when symptoms are subtle or involve autonomic functions like heart rate and temperature regulation.

When Is This Testing Recommended?
Testing is typically recommended for patients experiencing:

Chronic Pain: Especially burning or tingling pain in the hands or feet.
Autonomic Symptoms: Such as lightheadedness, abnormal sweating, or gastrointestinal issues.
Unexplained Sensory Loss: Reduced sensation or numbness that affects everyday activities.

How Testing Works
Specialized tests may include:

Skin Biopsy: To examine nerve fiber density.
Autonomic Function Testing: To evaluate heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating responses.
Quantitative Sensory Testing: To assess how well nerves respond to sensations like heat or cold.
