Quantitative sensory testing

Muscle and Nerve, 1997
Quantitative sensory testing has become commonplace in clinical neurophysiology units. Measurement of the thermal and vibratory senses provides an estimate on function of sensory small and large fibers, respectively. Being psychophysical parameters, sensory threshold values are not objective, and various test algorithms have been developed aiming at ...

Quantitative Sensory Testing in Cluster Headache: Increased Sensory Thresholds

Cephalalgia, 2006
To determine if recently reported changes in sensory thresholds during migraine attacks can also be seen in cluster headache (CH), we performed quantitative sensory testing (QST) in 10 healthy subjects and in 16 patients with CH. Eight of the patients had an episodic CH and the other eight a chronic CH.

Quantitative Sensory Testing in Pain Management

Pain Management, 2015
Quantitative sensory testing (QST), a set of noninvasive methods used to assess sensory and pain perception, has been used for three decades. The precision of the instruments and the uninvasiveness encouraged many QST-based trials. The developments made have benefited multiple disciplines.

Quantitative sensory testing and risk factors of diabetic sensory neuropathy

Journal of Neurology, 1999
The goal of this study was to identify risk factors for diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population. Peripheral sensory neuropathy was detected by quantitative sensory testing (5.07/10 g monofilament, neurometer and 128-Hz Riedel Seiffert graduated tuning fork).

Clinical applications of quantitative sensory testing (QST)

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1998
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) has been used clinically for the last two decades, yielding a substantial number of publications regarding these applications. In this review we tried to amass together the major findings of these publications into one monograph, excluding those dealing with pain.

Technology literature review: Quantitative sensory testing

Muscle and Nerve, 2004
AbstractThe development of the personal computer has simplified the process of quantitating sensory thresholds using various testing algorithms. We reviewed the technical aspects and reproducibility of different methods to determine threshold for light touch‐pressure, vibration, thermal, and pain stimuli.

Quantitative sensory testing

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2003
Quantitative sensory testing is a reliable way of assessing large and small sensory nerve fiber function. Sensory deficits may be quantified and the data used in parametric statistical analysis in research studies and drug trials. It is an important addition to the neurophysiologic armamentarium, because conventional sensory nerve conduction tests only

Quantitative Sensory Testing

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2006
The diagnosis and treatment of peripheral neuropathy from any cause has come to the forefront of the research community in the past few years. Both past and new diagnostic and treatment options have been and are being studied to better understand and properly treat this debilitating and sometimes devastating disease.

Quantitative Sensory Testing

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1994
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is based on well-developed psychophysical methods that define not only the stimulus (type, characteristics, quantity, presentation, testing format, and environment) but also the response (form and analysis). With the availability of personal computers, transducers, electronic circuitry, and specially written software,
