Thermal threshold determination in alcoholic polyneuropathy: an improvement of diagnosis.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The differential diagnosis of patients with idiopathic parkinsonism is difficult, especially early in the course of the disease. External anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG) has been reported to be of value in the differential diagnosis between Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA)...
