Has anyone had a diagnostic test called Biothesiometry?

It would be great to have actual numbers to chart the path of my idiopathic progression with a non-invasive test… I’ve seen four neurologists and multiple podiatrists and no one ever used this on me. Ot that it would stop the pain, but I sure would like to know what number I’m at now, and what it’ll be in 5, 10, 15 years.

I recently saw an article in an Indian paper about a Biothesiometry (from 1984 - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1441832/ ) testing apparatus, and the newer version of this is a Neurothesiometer.
