- Registration Number
- NCT02216201
- Lead Sponsor
- Impeto Medical
- Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether SUDOSCAN is a valid, accurate clinical device for the the determination of sweat gland function in the pediatric population.
Primary Objective: To measure sweat gland function in a pediatric population
Secondary Objective: To determine thresholds on the SUDOSCAN scale for abnormal sweat gland function in the pediatric population
