Mild electrical stimulation is applied to the skin iontophoresis , and acetylcholine, a naturally-occurring chemical, enters the skin.

Acetylcholine stimulates the sweat glands, and sweat responses are measured. A silastic sweat imprint test also uses electrodes, but pilocarpine is given to stimulate the sweat glands. An imprint of the sweat droplets appears as indentations on a material made of silicone rubber. A thermoregulatory sweat test assesses the thermo-regulatory sudomotor pathway of the whole body, and it measures sweat production in relation to an increase in core temperature. When moist, the powder changes color from orange to purple.

To detect excessive surface heating, a thermal device is placed on the skin. The patient enters a chamber that is heated by infrared heating units. Temperature and humidity are carefully controlled.
