Pre-clinical evaluation of a low-cost tool for skin temperature measurements as a proxy to assess autonomic nerve function in leprosy neuropathy

Peripheral autonomic nerve function (ANF) impairment (ANFI) can be one of the first indicators for leprosy or leprosy neuropathy. However, within leprosy, hardly any ANF assessment methods are used in current practice. Skin temperature could be a proxy measure to assess ANF. Therefore, this research...
