Small fiber neuropathy in Parkinson's disease explored by the sudoscan

Small fibers function was evaluated by the electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) in 67 consecutive PD patients and 66 age-matched controls using sudoscan technology. There is no significant reduction in ESC in PD patients compared with controls. We found a weak correlation between feet ESC and modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale.
