Abstract
In our study, normative values of psychophysical and electrophysiological tests were assessed, and factors, influencing testing parameters, were determined. Somatic and autonomic nervous system functions are influenced by physiological and pathological factors. The influence of sympathetic activity, temperature, ischemia and diazepam on thermal specific, thermal pain and vibration thresholds was determined. Sensitivity and validity of thermotest, vibrametry and autonomic functions evaluation were specified. Neurophysiologically determined abnormalities were researched and morphologically confirmed. Applied were neuroradiological and microscopic evaluation methods. Peripheral and central nervous diseases were studied. Peripheral neuropathies were examined in neurologically free type I diabetic children and in symptomatic patients complaining of restless legs syndrome, Sjoegren’s disease and other small nerve fibres involvement. Additionally, sensory abnormalities in central nervous system diseases (Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis) were determined.were studied.
