(Thermal) quantitative sensory testing-tQST.
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a collection of individual tests designed to assess the somatosensory system, particularly of patients with neuropathic pain or suspected neurologic disease (Rolke et al 2006b, Shy et al 2003). Pressure algometry, one of the individual QST tests, has previously been discussed in Clinimetrics (Ylinen 2007); this article focuses on the thermal component of th...
متن کاملReliability of thermal quantitative sensory testing: a systematic review.
The use of quantitative sensory testing (QST) has become more widespread, with increasing focus on describing somatosensory profiles and pain mechanisms. However, the reliability of thermal QST has yet to be established. We systematically searched the literature using key medical databases. Independent reviewers evaluated reliability data using the Quality Appraisal for Reliability Studies chec...
متن کاملQuantitative Sensory Thermal Testing in Patients With Lacunar Infarct Syndromes
Background and Purpose Quantitative data on sensory impairment in stroke patients are limited. We measured the perception thresholds for temperature and thermal pain in patients with different lacunar syndromes, correlated the results with clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and studied the long-term prognosis of sensory dysfunction. Methods Quantitative thermal testing was ...
