Despite the primary myelin-related pathophysiology, small fiber neuropathy (SFN) and axonal degeneration are also considered to be involved and associated with disabling symptoms and impaired quality of life in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Demonstration of SFN usually requires complex or invasive investigations.
