Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is characterized by neuropathic pain, associated with decreased quality of life (QOL). It remains unclear which psychosocial factors play a role in SFN. The experience sampling method (ESM) allows a profound understanding of the real-time fluctuations in reaction to events. The main goal of this study was to increase knowledge of the interrelationships between pain intensity, physical activity, and psychosocial factors in patients with SFN in daily practice over time.
