Default Temperature & Vibration Threshold tests

Last year, my neuro decided (after seeing me for 10 yrs) that I should be tested to see if my "thresholds of perception" for temperature and vibration are normal.

Not sure if people here have had this done. It involves putting a transducer on your foot, that can be heated, cooled to varying degrees (...oops, pun not intended). Then you push a button if you feel anything. Similarly for vibration.

The outcome was that "thermal thresholds are elevated from both feet, but vibration thesholds were normal. These data are consistent with small fibre neuropathy"

Is this kind of testing definitive? How have others been diagnosed for small fibre neuropathy? What tests?

Oh ...here are the test results:

Best Wishes,
