Skin innervation at different depths correlates with small fibre function but not with pain in neuropathic pain patients

Background Neuropathy can lead not only to impaired function but also to sensory sensitization. We aimed to link reduced skin nerve fibre density in different levels to layer-specific functional impairment in neuropathic pain patients and tried to identify pain-specific functional and structural mar...
