Small fiber peripheral neuropathy

Disorders of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

Small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs from damage to the small unmyelinated and myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs. The role of these nerves is to innervate some skin sensations and help control autonomic function. It is estimated that 15–20 million people in the United States have some form of peripheral neuropathy.
