Use of cutaneous electrochemical conductance for preclinical screening of small-caliber nerve fibers
Objective: Use of cutaneous electrochemical conductance for preclinical screening of small-caliber nerve fibers Background: Sudoscan is a tool developed to evaluate and screen peripheral neuropathies in diabetes. His indication has been extended to other neuropathies such as post-chemotherapy, Fabry's disease, Parkinson's disease, familial amyloid polyneuropathy. Main objective: Evaluation of the relevance of cutaneous electrochemical conductance in chronic peripheral neuropathies. Methodology : Recruitment of 2 groups of 2000 patients Group 1: Patients with chronic neuropathy, during clinic bread consultation Group 2: Patients to benefit from scheduled surgery seen during anesthesia consultation For both groups filling the central awareness inventory questionnaire Analysis of the results after the recruitment has been completed.
