A member asked:

What is a qsart test and what is it used for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Autonomic nerv syst: The qsart test is used in neurology to measure the nerves that control sweating. It is helping in determining if there are any abnormalities with the autonomic nervous system (i.e. Heart, bp, GI tract). It is also useful in determining a problem with the small nerve fibers, which can be abnormal in disorders such as complex regional pain syndrome.
