Sudomotor dysfunction

Sudomotor dysfunction refers to a disruption in the normal functioning of the sweat glands and their associated nerves. The sweat glands are part of the body's autonomic nervous system, and sudomotor dysfunction can result from damage or dysfunction of the nerves that control sweating. This dysfunction may lead to abnormalities in sweating, including either excessive or reduced sweating in affected areas.
