WebbThe entity of neuropathy affecting small nerve fibers (small fiber neuropathy) has been understood for some time. However, before the ready availability of intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) testing via skin punch biopsy, diagnosis was difficult and largely rested on clinical suspicion. WebbSmall fiber neuropathy is considered a form of peripheral neuropathy because it affects the peripheral nervous system, which connects the brain and spinal cord to muscles and to cells that detect sensations such as touch, smell, and pain. Insensitivity to pain can be particularly problematic.
