Migraine understood as a sensory threshold disease

Pain, 2019
AbstractMigraine encompasses a broader spectrum of sensory symptoms than just headache. These “other” symptoms, eg, sensory phobias, cognitive and mood changes, allodynia, and many others indicate an altered sensitivity to sensory input which can be measured, in principle, by quantifying sensory threshold changes longitudinally over time.

Sensory Threshold and Conductance Testing in Nerve Injuries

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1986
Two electrical methods of assessing nerve function have been developed and have proved useful in clinical practice. Their role has been established in the diagnosis of injury, prognosis and the assessment of progress following repair. They provide an easily performed, objective measurement of nerve function.

Sensory thresholds

2017
Pet peeves about others’ behaviors are normal. When a par­ticular behavior occurs daily in a classroom, however, it can drive a teacher (and students) to severe annoyance. The key to minimizing issues is remembering that our frenzy over someone’s quirky behavior is more often our problem than theirs.

Sensory Thresholds and Response Bias

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1963
Sensory differential thresholds are studied by two models: a discrete model, the neural quantum theory, and a continuous model, signal detectability theory. A comprehensive series of auditory experiments is reported that was designed to obtain measures of both the detection and decision processes of the observers when the signal consists of a brief ...

Visual Recognitive Thresholds Following Sensory Deprivation

The American Journal of Psychology, 1959
Recent studies of sensory deprivation have shown that reduced stimulus-variability may appreciably modify sensory and cognitive efficiency. The McGill experiments demonstrated that exposing human Ss for several days to an environment, which minimized stimulus-change and restricted visual functions to the perception of diffuse light, resulted in ...

Normal distributions of thermal and vibration sensory thresholds

Muscle & Nerve, 1998
The distributions of sensory thresholds were estimated in a healthy population while controlling for potential covariates. Using the method of levels and the two-alternative forced choice, thermal and vibration thresholds respectively were measured in the hand and foot of 148 subjects. Age was uniformly distributed between 20 and 86 years.

Variability of sensory threshold determination in clinical use

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1981
The variability of perception threshold determination for vibration, tactile stimuli and thermal stimuli, with instruments intended for clinical use, was studied in 13 healthy subjects and 27 patients with chronic polyneuropathy. Normal thresholds for tactile and thermal stimuli were determined in 51 healthy subjects.

Cross-modal Induction of Changes in Sensory Thresholds

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1968
Two experiments are reported in which subliminal stimulation of one modality with emotional material impairs detection performance in a different modality. In the first experiment the visual awareness threshold for neutral material was raised by simultaneous auditory presentation of emotional words.

Sensory retraining following orthognathic surgery: effect on threshold measures of sensory function

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2009
Summary  The purpose of this analysis was to examine the effect of sensory retraining on sensory function after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). A total of 186 subjects were enrolled in a multi‐centre double‐blind two parallel group stratified block randomized clinical trial.

Aging and quantitative sensory thresholds.

Electromyography and clinical neurophysiology, 1990
Cutaneous thresholds for vibration and thermal sensitivity were quantitated at the index finger and great toe in 54 subjects without obvious neurological disease. Twelve patients over sixty years of age also consented to standard nerve conduction studies which proved normal.
