About Sudoscan Test
Sudoscan is an innovative medical device designed to measure sudomotor function by assessing the sweat gland response to a low-voltage electrical stimulus. It is a simple, quick, and non-invasive test that provides valuable insights into a patient’s autonomic nervous system health. By detecting dysfunction in small nerve fibers, Sudoscan can aid in the early diagnosis and management of various neurological and metabolic conditions.
Emirates Hospitals Group is committed to providing cutting-edge diagnostic tests under the expertise of Dubai’s leading endocrinologists.
How It Is Done
The Sudoscan test is straightforward and painless. The patient places their hands and feet on stainless steel plates that deliver a mild electrical stimulus. The device then measures the electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) levels, which indicate the function of small nerve fibers. The results are available within minutes, offering immediate insights into nerve health.
