Q-SENSE
Simple, validated, thermal testing for small peripheral nerve fibers
Q-Sense is a portable, easy-to-use and affordable quantitative sensory testing (QST) device for clinical, research and pharmacologic trial use.
Q-Sense offers scientifically validated measures of warm, cool and heat-pain thermal sensory thresholds. All of these can be useful determinants in the evaluation of peripheral sensory nerve function, neuropathic pain, diabetic, chemotherapeutic, and other small-fiber neuropathies.

Q-Sense Benefits:
​
-
Thermal stimulation for basic research needs
-
Early detection of diabetic neuropathy and other small-fiber neuropathy
-
Monitoring response to therapy in diabetic neuropathy and other small fiber-related neuropathies
The impairment in thermal cutaneous perception is one of the attributes for the early stage of diabetic neuropathy and may serve a predictor factor in asymptomatic patients. Since the development of diabetic neuropathy is length-dependent, QST should be performed primarily on the feet or hands.
