Microneurography Reveals Unmyelinated Small Nerve Fiber Dysfunction in Long <scp>COVID</scp>
This study provides novel electrophysiological evidence linking small nerve fiber dysfunction to long COVID. These findings align with previous histological evidence of small nerve fiber loss, reinforcing the hypothesis that peripheral nerve dysfunction contributes to the multisystem symptoms of long COVID.
