Fast, Non-Invasive Nerve Function Testing
Sudoscan is a quick, painless, and non-invasive test that assesses the function of small nerve fibres by measuring sweat gland activity. This advanced screening tool provides valuable insights into peripheral autonomic nerve health and can help detect early nerve dysfunction, often before symptoms become apparent.
What Happens During a Sudoscan Test?
During the test, you simply place your hands and feet on stainless steel electrodes while the device measures sweat gland function (sudomotor function). The procedure takes approximately three minutes, with results available immediately, enabling your doctor to assess nerve health quickly and accurately.
Conditions Sudoscan Can Help Detect
Sudoscan is used to support early detection and monitoring of:
- Diabetes-related nerve complications (diabetic neuropathy)
- Early-stage nerve dysfunction
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Small fibre neuropathy
- Sudomotor dysfunction
- Autonomic nerve dysfunction
