Understanding sudomotor dysfunction

Sudomotor nerves are among the smallest and longest nerve fibres in the autonomic nervous system. Because of their length, they are often among the first to suffer metabolic damage from elevated blood glucose levels. Reduced sweating on the soles of the feet is a reliable early sign of peripheral nerve damage.

Research highlights


Clinical trials published in peer-reviewed medical journals demonstrate that visual diagnostic screening tools maintain high sensitivity for early detection of diabetic neuropathy.

Key clinical findings across international studies show:

  • High diagnostic sensitivity when compared against complex nerve conduction velocity testing.
  • Effective identification of patients at high risk of developing future foot ulcers.
  • Excellent patient preference scores due to the painless nature and ease of use of the test.
