Improving assessment in small fiber neuropathy

In conclusion, the 32‐item SFN‐RODS© is a disease‐specific interval measure suitable for detecting activity limitations and participation restrictions in patients with SFN. The 13‐item SFN‐SIQ© was transformed through Rasch to an interval measure. The use of these scales is recommended in future clinical interventional trials involving patients with SFN.
