Cold

Cold Tests are performed to evaluate and diagnose conditions such as neuropathy, vascular disorders, Raynaud's disease, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction by assessing the patient's response to temperature changes.

Common test sites include the fingers, toes, and forearms. However, the specific site may vary depending on the patient's symptoms and the clinical question being addressed.

Results can vary, but a normal response suggests that sensory and vascular function in the tested area are within the expected range. Abnormal responses may indicate neuropathy, vascular issues, or nerve damage.
