What is the history of Small Fiber Neuropathy?
When was Small Fiber Neuropathy discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
Until recently, scientists thought that all nerve issues originated in the brain and spinal cord and affected large nerves... It wasn't until the late 1900s that anyone even thought to consider small fiber nerves as a source of pain and dysfunction. Once science embraced the understanding of a peripheral nervous system, it eventually became aware of the small fiber nerves and their role in pain and damage independent of the central nervous system.
