Quantitative Sensory Testing in Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.
BACKGROUND In recent years, several published articles have demonstrated that quantitative sensory testing (QST) is useful in the analysis of musculoskeletal pain disorders. Based on the evidence from these studies, it is assumed that QST might be a useful tool in the analysis of the pathogenesis, classification, differential diagnosis, and prognosis of chronic musculoskeletal pain. OBJECTIVE...
متن کاملThe Role of Quantitative Sensory Testing in the Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a noninvasive method of assessing sensory and pain perception that has been used in the past 30 years primarily for analysis of cutaneous and mucosal perception. In recent years, several published studies have demonstrated that QST may be useful in the analysis of painful musculoskeletal disorders as well. Based on the results of these studies, it can be po...
متن کاملQuantitative Sensory Testing Predicts Pregabalin Efficacy in Painful Chronic Pancreatitis
BACKGROUND A major problem in pain medicine is the lack of knowledge about which treatment suits a specific patient. We tested the ability of quantitative sensory testing to predict the analgesic effect of pregabalin and placebo in patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS Sixty-four patients with painful chronic pancreatitis received pregabalin (150-300 mg BID) or matching placebo for thre...
متن کاملDynamic Quantitative Sensory Testing to Characterize Central Pain Processing
Central facilitation and modulation of incoming nociceptive signals play an important role in the perception of pain. Disruption in central pain processing is present in many chronic pain conditions and can influence responses to specific therapies. Thus, the ability to precisely describe the state of central pain processing has profound clinical significance in both prognosis and prediction. B...
