Early Detection of Nerve-Related Health, Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome

Early Detection of Nerve-Related Health, Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome

Sudomotor assessment using TM Flow detects peripheral neuropathy and autonomic dysfunction long before they become symptomatic.

PainLab provides a Sudomotor function assessment (using sympathetic skin response) with a quick, non-invasive test that evaluates small nerve fibers. We use TM Flow to capture important insights into peripheral neuropathy and autonomic dysfunction. The purpose is early detection, tracking changes over time, and measuring how you respond to your care plan.

We use this advanced technique to evaluate sweating (peripheral autonomic nervous system) and nerve function, both of which are indicators of small nerve fiber issues often seen in the early stages of Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes.

The test is a comfortable and quick technique that measures electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) in the feet.

The patient lies down in a relaxed, quiet setting for accurate measurements.

PainLab provides the Sudomotor evaluation in conjunction with several other important scores in a 15-minute test.
