Abstract

Psychiatric comorbidity is common in patients with chronic pain. In peripheral neuropathic pain, particularly anxiety and mood disorders are frequently present and associated with a high level of catastrophizing. Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a peripheral neuropathy dominated by pain. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of, and factors associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms in SFN.
