(Thermal) quantitative sensory testing-tQST.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the QST protocol (tQST), which requires the use of a Thermal Sensory Analysera (TSA) or an Modular Sensory Analyserb (MSA) (Rolke et al 2006a).

Sensory symptoms and signs and results of quantitative 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 wa...

BACKGROUND Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is often used to measure children's and adults' detection- and pain thresholds in a quantitative manner. In children especially the Thermal Sensory Analyzer (TSA-II) is often applied to determine thermal detection and pain thresholds. As comparisons between studies are hampered by the different testing protocols used, we aimed to present a standard ...
متن کاملMechanical and Thermal Sensory Testing in Normal Chondrodystrophoid Dogs and Dogs with Spinal Cord Injury caused by Thoracolumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniations
BACKGROUND Intervertebral disc herniation is a common cause of spinal cord injury (SCI) causing paralysis and sensory loss. Little quantitative information is available on the loss and recovery of sensation in dogs with SCI. OBJECTIVES To determine whether quantitative sensory testing (QST) can be used to establish thermal and mechanical sensory thresholds in chrondrodystrophoid dogs and comp...
