Abstract

Definitive diagnostic criteria for small fibre neuropathy have yet to be established, with implications both for clinical practice and for the design of clinical trials. Devigili et al. demonstrate that a combined approach – with clinical, functional and structural assessment of small nerve fibres – improves the reliability of diagnosis.
