Well, small-fiber neuropathy--

--CAN be confirmed by certain tests, such as quantitative sensory testing, sudomotor axon reflex testing, and, the most recent gold standard, skin biopsy that shows a reduction in intraepidermal nerve fiber density.

None of these are likely to show a cause of the neuropathy, but they can certainly document why you might have symptoms.
