Summary

This study looked at whether a 15-minute hand soak in warm water can help diagnose small fiber neuropathy, a condition that causes pain, numbness, and problems with automatic body functions. Researchers tested 38 adults and compared the wrinkling pattern of their fingertips to standard nerve tests. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost method could reliably detect nerve damage.
