Default are there any tests for *SMALLER* fiber neuropathy? (smaller peripheral branches)
I know of Nerve conduction/EMG etc, but those test the larger trunk of the nerves. I know needle pricks/feather tests are kind of for the smaller peripheries, but they are primitive at best.

Are there any more dynamic and more detailed tests out there for the small peripheral branches??

Thanks!
