Quantitative sensory testing of temperature thresholds: Possible biomarkers for persistent pain?
OBJECTIVE To investigate the reproducibility of thermal thresholds, as measured by repeated quantitative sensory testing (QST) in healthy controls, and to asses if temperature sensitivity differs between healthy controls and a cohort of patients with persistent pain. SUBJECTS A total of 54 healthy controls were compared with 25 consecutive patients selected for pain rehabilitation by multidis...
متن کاملQuantitative sensory testing in trigeminal traumatic neuropathic pain and persistent idiopathic facial pain.
The objective of this article was to investigate, with a systematic protocol of quantitative sensory testing, patients with persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) and others with trigeminal traumatic neuropathic pain (TTN) compared to controls. Thirty patients with PIFP, 19 with TTN, and 30 controls were evaluated on subjective numbness and dysesthesia and with a systematic protocol of quanti...
متن کاملQuantitative 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 کاملOvercoming pain thresholds with multilevel models—an example using quantitative sensory testing (QST) data
The assessment of somatosensory function is a cornerstone of research and clinical practice in neurology. Recent initiatives have developed novel protocols for quantitative sensory testing (QST). Application of these methods led to intriguing findings, such as the presence lower pain-thresholds in healthy children compared to healthy adolescents. In this article, we (re-) introduce the basic co...
متن کاملQuantitative sensory testing of persistent pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy.
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy may potentially reduce the risk of post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS). However, it may still carry a risk of intraoperative nerve damage and thereby development of PTPS. Thus, our aim was to present a detailed long-term neurophysiological characterization of PTPS after VATS. METHODS Quantitative sensory testing, using thermal and ...
