The term Raynaud's phenomenon is the eponym of a clinical picture culmi nating into and dominated by accessorial vasomotor crysis which are triggered by different stimuli (cold, cigarette smoking, emotional stress); cold sensitivity however, is a rather constant feature.

Little is known about peripheral nerve involvement in Raynaud's phenome non but for cases secondary to thoracic outlet syndrome or to primary neuro logic diseases, systemic or not.

The aim of the present work was to evaluate non-invasively the involvement of arterial flow as well as of nerve function in subjects complaining of Ray naud's phenomenon.
