Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Autonomic Nervous System Research
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Autonomic sympathetic peripheral nerves regulate skin temperature.
  • Symmetrical skin temperature indicates normal nerve function.
  • Peripheral nerve dysfunction can lead to temperature imbalances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce neurothermography as a novel diagnostic tool.
  • To establish the reliability of skin temperature asymmetry in detecting nerve disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing neurothermography to measure skin temperature patterns.
  • Assessing body symmetry of skin temperature.
  • Identifying persistent temperature asymmetries within specific nerve patterns (thermatomes).

Main Results:

  • Neurothermography is a clinically useful method.
  • Body temperature symmetry is key to normal state detection.
  • A 1°C temperature asymmetry reliably indicates autonomic peripheral nerve disorder.

Conclusions:

  • Neurothermography is a valuable new method for diagnosing autonomic sympathetic peripheral nerve dysfunction.
  • Skin temperature asymmetry is a reliable indicator of peripheral nerve disorders.
