AIMS: Sensory neuropathy is central to the development of painful neuropathy, and
foot ulceration in patients with diabetes. Currently, available QST devices take
considerable time to perform and are expensive. NerveCheck is the first
inexpensive ($500), portable QST device to perform both vibration and thermal
testing and hence evaluate diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). This study was
undertaken to establish the reproducibility and diagnostic validity of NerveCheck
for detecting neuropathy. METHODS: 130 subjects (28 with DPN, 46 without DPN and
56 control subjects) underwent QST assessment with NerveCheck; vibration
perception and thermal testing. DPN was defined according to the Toronto
criteria. RESULTS: NerveCheck's intra correlation coefficient for vibration, cold
and warm sensation testing was 0.79 (95% LOA: -4.20 to 6.60), 0.86 (95% LOA:
-1.38 to 2.72) and 0.71 (95% LOA: -2.36 to 3.83), respectively. The diagnostic
accuracy (AUC) for vibration, cold and warm sensation testing was 86% (SE: 0.038,
95% CI 0.79-0.94), 79% (SE: 0.058, 95% CI 0.68-0.91) and 72% (SE: 0.058, 95% CI
0.60-0.83), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that NerveCheck has good
reproducibility and comparable diagnostic accuracy to established QST equipment
for the diagnosis of DPN.
