Abstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) measured by
Sudoscan and neuropathic symptoms in patients with diabetes. A total of 44 patients with diabetes (mean age = 67.23 ± 4.29 years, HbA1c = 7.53 ± 0.88 %) underwent comprehensive assessments using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and Sudoscan. Additionally, neuropathic symptoms were evaluated using the Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS), Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), Foot Pain Manikin, and 10 g
monofilament test. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine associations between ESC and neuropathic symptom measures. Significant negative correlations were observed between ESC and NSS (r = -0.583, P < 0.001), McGill Pain Questionnaire scores (r = 0.401, P < 0.007), Foot Pain Manikin scores (r = -0.411, P < 0.006), and 10 g monofilament test results (r = -0.394, P < 0.008). The results highlight a strong correlation between Sudoscan parameters and clinical neuropathic symptoms, suggesting its potential as a non-invasive tool for assessing both small and large fiber impairment in diabetes. Future research should explore longitudinal changes in ESC to further elucidate its prognostic value in neuropathy progression.
