The references that have to do with the technique from the above article:

Truini A et al. (2004) Laser evoked potentials for assessing sensory neuropathy in human patients. Neurosci Lett 361: 25–28

Chiang HY et al. (2005) Skin denervation, neuropathology, and neuropathic pain in a laserinduced focal neuropathy. Neurobiol Dis 18: 40–53

Perretti A et al. (2003) Is Ross syndrome a dysautonomic disorder only? An electrophysiologic and histologic study. Clin Neurophysiol 114: 7–16

Granovsky Y et al. (2005) Thermoreceptive innervation of human glabrous and hairy skin: a contact heat evoked potential analysis. Pain 115: 238–247


Truini seems to be a big resercher in the area of alternate ways to assess small-fiber syndromes; take a look at:
