Impeto Medical has developed a patented technology that assesses sudomotor function quickly and non-invasively. The results are a conductance, which expresses the health of the small nerve fibers innervating the sweat glands. The ease-of-use, quantitative, reproducible and sensitive results encourage its use to detect and follow-up the evolution of small fiber neuropathy (autonomic peripheral neuropathy).
These neuropathies can be present in patients suffering of pre-diabetes or diabetes. This method reveals this, usually unchecked, complication of diabetes in its early stages. Introducing specific medical care for neuropathies at an early stage, when they are still reversible, could avoid the onset of more serious, and costly, complications.
Autonomic Peripheral Neuropathies can also appear in patients with pain, amyloidosis, or receiving a chemotherapy treatment (find all our publications here).
