Neurothermography.
Neurothermography is a new, clinically useful method of detecting autonomic sympathetic peripheral nerve dysfunction. Body symmetry of the skin temperature as maintained by symmetrically functional peripheral nerves is the key to detecting a normal state. Persistent 1 degree C temperature asymmetry in the pattern of a peripheral nerve (thermatome) is a highly reliable method of detecting autonomic peripheral nerve disorder.
