DOI: 10.1111/ene.15649
Abstract: Ehlers–Danlos syndromes are hereditary disorders of connective tissue that are characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and tissue fragility. The most common subtype is the hypermobile type. In addition to symptoms of small fibre neuropathy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jdv.16151
Abstract: Small‐fibre neuropathy (SFN) is a known cause for pain, however, it may be also associated with chronic itch. The clinical profile of chronic itch due to SFN is poorly defined and accordingly under‐diagnosed in clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jdv.17714
Abstract: Because typical and atypical features of small fibre polyneuropathy (SFN) in the skin have not been fully elucidated, the diagnosis is often made by the exclusion of alternative conditions rather than by its identification as… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12051135
Abstract: Converging evidence shows that patients with fibromyalgia syndrome have signs of small fibre impairment, possibly leading to pain and autonomic symptoms, with a frequency that has not yet been systematically evaluated. To fill this gap,… read more here.

DOI: 10.7861/clinmedicine.19-2-s43
Abstract: Small fibre neuropathy (SFN) presents typically with a ‘burning’ or ‘cold’ sensation in the distal limbs. Thermal threshold tests (TTT) are done with the intention of diagnostic benefit in current practice. This study aims to… read more here.
