Sensory and pain threshold characteristics to laser stimuli.
The clinical applications of thermal sensory and pain thresholds have been very limited due to large intra-individual variations. In the present paper CO2 and argon lasers were used as thermal stimulators, and the different factors (stimulus parameters and skin conditions) affecting the thresholds are described. The intra-individual variations obtained in sensory (9.3%) and pain (4.3%) threshol...
متن کاملOptimized design and implementation of electrical stimuli to reduce muscle pain and treat osteoarthritis
Today, electrical stimulation as a treatment method by creating muscle contraction by creating internal electrical stimulation is a method to reduce muscle pain. In addition, it is used to treat osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to study, design and implement optimized hardware for electrical muscle stimulators to reduce pain and treat osteoarthritis. Here, the design of the optimal sys...
متن کاملMechanical resonance enhances the sensitivity of the vibrissa sensory system to near-threshold stimuli.
The representation of high-frequency sensory information is a crucial problem faced by the nervous system. Rodent facial vibrissae constitute a high-resolution sensory system, capable of discriminating and detecting subtle changes in tactual input. During active sensing, the mechanical properties of vibrissae may play a key role in filtering sensory information and translating it into neural ac...
متن کاملThe effect of low power LASER acupuncture on experimental pain threshold in normal subjects
Background: Acupuncture is an indispensable part of traditional Chinese medicine for relief of pain. The purpose of this study was the immediate & latent of low power LASER Ga-Al-As irradiation applied to acupuncture points on experimental pain threshold. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on seventy adult women ranging from 20 to 40 years old assigned randomly into two groups...
متن کاملPain and sensory detection threshold response to acupuncture is modulated by coping strategy and acupuncture sensation
BACKGROUND Acupuncture has been shown to reduce pain, and acupuncture-induced sensation may be important for this analgesia. In addition, cognitive coping strategies can influence sensory perception. However, the role of coping strategy on acupuncture modulation of pain and sensory thresholds, and the association between acupuncture sensation and these modulatory effects, is currently unknown. ...
