Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Small-fiber neuropathy (SFN) has been traditionally considered as a pure disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by neuropathic pain and degeneration of small-diameter nerve fibers in the skin. Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed abnormal activations of pain networks, but the structural basis underlying such maladaptive functional alterations remains elusive....
