Quantitative Sensory Testing Identifies Altered Thermal and Pain Processing in Trigeminal Neuralgia
European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 6, June 2026.DFNS‐based quantitative sensory testing (QST) and sensory phenotyping were performed on the most affected trigeminal division in 65 patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). In the overall cohort, QST revealed bilateral thermal hypoesthesia and bilateral pain hyperalgesia, with mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia being the most frequent sensory ...

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 600-634, June 2026.This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1118-1126, June 2026.Using articulating foils of varying thickness, occlusal tactile acuity was compared between patients with chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDp) and healthy controls. TMDp patients showed enhanced detection of thinner foils and greater perceptual sensitivity, accompanied by a more liberal decision strategy, whereas higher frequencies of ...

Correlation Between the New Bite Force Meter and GC Dental Prescale II
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1177-1186, June 2026.This study evaluated a new one‐sided bite force meter (OBM‐01). In healthy and older adults, the device showed good reliability and moderate correlation with Dental Prescale II measurements. Habitual chewing side bite force was significantly higher, suggesting OBM‐01 may be useful for assessing oral function in clinical settings.

Evidence for Cardiac Phase‐Linked Perception of Heartbeats
Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Commonly used methods for assessing cardiac interoceptive accuracy have been criticized for assuming that all individuals perceive their heartbeat at the same delay following contraction of the heart, despite evidence for notable variability across individuals.
