DOI: 10.1007/s00415-020-10033-z
Abstract: The most common peripheral nervous system manifestations in Sjogren’s syndrome are small fiber sensory neuropathies (SFPN) and axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathies. Currently, treatment in small fiber neuropathy is mainly symptomatic and based on anti-depressors and anti-epileptics.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2019.01.002
Abstract: Mutations in genes involved in mitochondrial dynamics (fusion and fission) have been implicated in many peripheral neuropathies. We hypothesized that defects in these genes could result in a phenotype resembling features of small-fiber neuropathy (SFN).… read more here.
