Abstract

Small fibers function was evaluated by the electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) in 67 consecutive PD patients and 66 age-matched controls using sudoscan technology. There is no significant reduction in ESC in PD patients compared with controls. We found a weak correlation between feet ESC and modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
