SUDOSCAN is a medical device that offers a stimulation of the sweat glands that assess small nerve fibers
Technology Principle
Impeto Medical patented technology measures the capacity of the autonomic sweat glands to release chloride ions in response to an electrochemical stimulus. It is a dynamic test.
weat glands are innervated by small diameter sympathetic C-fibers. Sudomotor (sweat) dysfunction can be one of the earliest detectable neurophysiologic abnormalities in distal small fiber neuropathies.
