Quantitative sensory testing of pain responsiveness

2013
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a powerful tool to assess pain responsiveness in healthy individuals and patients with orofacial pain conditions and thereby gain insight into the function of the nociceptive system and potential pain mechanisms.

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).

Chapter 27 Quantitative sensory testing

2006
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the basic concepts of quantitative sensory testing (QST), the methodological issues involved, and the clinical applications of this testing method. It is believed that the main current applications for QST in the context of pain neurology include support for the neurological diagnostic process, where a need to ...

Quantitative sensory testing in Achilles tendinopathy

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2017
Introduction: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a prevalent injury in the adult population, causing persistent pain and disability. Although, recent literature proposes peripheral and central nervous system alterations as one of the underlying processes of persistent pain in tendinopathies, the evidence in people with AT is limited. The primary aim of this

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.

Can self-reported pain characteristics and bedside test be used for the assessment of pain mechanisms? An analysis of results of neuropathic pain questionnaires and quantitative sensory testing.

Pain, 2019
Hyperalgesia and allodynia are frequent in neuropathic pain. Some pain questionnaires like the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) and the Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) include self-assessment or bedside-testing of hyperalgesia ...

Test-retest studies in quantitative sensory testing: a critical review [PDF]

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2013
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) investigates the graded psychophysical response to controlled thermal, mechanical, electrical or chemical stimuli, allowing quantification of clinically relevant perception and pain thresholds. The methods are ubiquitously used in experimental and clinical pain research, and therefore, the need for uniform assessment ...

Imaging vs quantitative sensory testing to predict chronic pain treatment outcomes

Pain, 2019
In this article, I review the concept of personalized pain management and consider how brain imaging and quantitative sensory testing can be used to derive biomarkers of chronic pain treatment outcome.

Technology literature review: Quantitative sensory testing

Muscle & 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.

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.
