<p>A method and apparatus assess sudomotor function to detect early stage peripheral distal neuropathy. The method sends a low voltage direct current of 1 to 5 volts between pairs of electrodes for a time of between 15 and 60 seconds, switches the current at the middle time and measures the peak and slope of the decreased conductance. The method can be used to assess skin blood flow when current is initially from cathode to anode and sweat gland density when current is initially from anode to cathode.</p> |
