"While early intervention and treatment can be critical to slowing the disease's progression, most Americans don't recognize neuropathy's symptoms, which include weakness, numbness, tingling and pain, especially in the hands and feet. If ignored, the symptoms can intensify to loss of sensation to unremitting pain. Neuropathy may be the most common disease in the United States that you've never heard of. Many are even unaware that they have it".

Neuropathy Association, May 2008

The typical sensory nerve is composed of three distinct sub-populations of nerve fibers that are characterized by their diameter. The following figures illustrate the number of fibers vs. diameter. These various sub-populations of nerve fibers transmit different sensations. The smallest (unmyelinated) fibers transmit dull pain and temperature, the middle diameter (small myelinated) fibers transmit fast pain, temperature and pressure sensation, and the largest (myelinated) fibers transmit touch and pressure sensation. These three sub populations of nerve fibers work together to transmit normal sensation. For example, when one touches a glass, first the glass is felt (at (50 m/s) and only afterward the temperature (at 1 m/s).

Diabetic sensory neuropathy is often selective for an individual sub-population of nerve fibers while sparing others. This results in various types of “painless” and "painful" nerve damage or neuropathy. The following table illustrates the neuroselectivity of standard sensory nerve tests and the Neurometer sNCT CPT test. In one automated painless procedure, the Neurometer tests all three subpopulations of sensory nerve fibers .

Neurometer is the Painless Standardized Advantage.

Accurate, Efficient, Painless Electro-Diagnostic Nerve Testing.

Don’t miss the opportunity to prevent serious sensory nerve damage because of out-dated and inefficient diagnostic tools. Don't let fear of pain and missed symptoms mislead a diagnosis. The Neurometer painlessly detects functional impairments. This happens before a patient, before a doctor and before any other test - giving a heads-up for treatment and a lease on quality of life. Let today's medical and technological advantage work for you and your patients.

Neurometer technology is based on sensory nerve physiology. That’s why it is recognized world wide as a leader in the detection and painless evaluation of nerve function and a trusted tool for monitoring sensory nerve response to treatments.

Neurometer Painlessly:

-Detects nerve damage

-Classifies nerve damage

-Monitors progress of treatment

The Neurometer^® uniquely and reliably evaluates a full range of neurological function for every type of sensory nerve fiber at both skin and/or mucosal body sites. Why take a chance with diagnosis? Use the Neurometer to improve examination efficiency, objectivity and accuracy.

Diabetes

Neurometer testing recognizes pre-diabetic and diabetic nerve damage. Testing the longest nerve fibers in the body located at the tips of the toes permits the earliest detection. This enables early therapeutic intervention before damage is irreversible. Testing higher on the foot permits monitoring the earliest stages of recovery.

Spinal disc problems, whiplash / lower back pain

The Neurometer immediately detects and evaluates the difference between a neurological problem vs. muscular injury to the spine that occurs in motor vehicle accidents or other accidents. Find out if incidental MRI findings have any significance.

Early Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Before any other test, the Neurometer recognizes the presence of CTS and then provides electro-physiological confirmation of treatment efficacy and monitoring progress.

Obesity

Nerve damage associated with obesity is detected by the Neurometer evaluation before it affects quality of life.

Pelvic pain

The Neurometer painlessly confirms nerve function with conditions such as Vulvodynia and Interstitial Cystitis.

Kidney Disease

The Neurometer accurately determines the effectiveness of dialysis therapy. Evaluations are conveniently conducted during dialysis.

HIV

The Neurometer picks up nerve damage before it’s apparent to the patient or the clinician. The evaluation recognizes HIV polyneuropathy, provides painless diagnosis, evaluation and permits monitoring the efficacy of treatment.

More than 1 million evaluations have been performed and over 800 peer-reviewed scientific studies around the world document the high sensitivity, specificity and reliability of the Neurometer^® . These confirm the Neurometer advantage over traditional procedures.
