BACKGROUND: To find out the physiological method for evaluating the severity of central autonomic dysfunction, we performed detailed evaluation of cutaneous vasomotor neural function in a comparatively large sample of multiple system atrophy (MSA).
METHODS: We evaluated cutaneous vasomotor neural function in 24 MSA patients. Skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) and sympathetic skin response (SSR) and skin blood flow (skin vasomotor reflex [SVR]) were recorded at rest, as well as reflex changes after electrical stimulation. The parameters investigated were SSNA frequency at rest, reflex latency and amplitude of SSNA reflex bursts, absolute decrease and percent reduction of SVR, recovery time, and spontaneous SVR and SSR frequency.
RESULTS: There were negative correlations between resting SSNA and disease duration or the SCOPA-AUT score, but these were not significant. SSNA reflex latency displayed significant positive correlations with disease duration and SCOPA-AUT score (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). In all five patients who underwent the same examination twice, SSNA reflex latency was significantly longer at the second examination than at the first examination (p < 0.005). A significant positive correlation was identified between recovery time of skin blood flow and SCOPA-AUT score or reflex latency (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were not observed between SCOPA-AUT score or disease duration and other parameters.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that some MSA patients with a comparatively short duration of disease potentially have impaired thermoregulatory function. Measurement of sympathetic outflow to the skin is potentially a useful tool for predicting the severity of central autonomic dysfunction in MSA.
