Quantitative Sensory Testing of Peripheral Thresholds in Patients with Lifelong Premature Ejaculation: A Case-Controlled Study

open access: yesJournal of Sexual Medicine, 2009
The main functional factors related to lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) etiology have been suggested to be penile hypersensitivity, greater cortical penile representation, and disturbance of central serotoninergic neurotransmission.

Interictal thermal pain hypersensitivity and central sensitization in migraine patients: a case–control study using quantitative sensory testing [PDF]

open access: yesHead & Face Medicine
Background Altered pain processing and central sensitization are key mechanisms underlying migraine. Although quantitative sensory testing (QST) objectively assesses sensory thresholds, its clinical implications in migraine patients are unclear.

Effects of Age and Sex on the Anorectal Sensory Threshold to Electrical Stimulation: A Single-center Observational Study

open access: yesJournal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2023
Objectives: Anorectal sensation is an essential component for maintaining normal defecation and continence. This study aimed to investigate changes in anorectal sensation with age and sex using the anorectal sensory threshold to electrical stimulation in

Sensory Threshold Testing [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes Care, 1993
We read with much interest the recent study by Sosenko et al. (1). Studies that screen for both NIDDM and polyneuropathy in subjects without a history of glucose intolerance are rare and therefore welcome. In general, their cross-sectional data agree very well with our findings in a general Caucasian population.

Cross-sensory facilitation reveals neural interactions between visual and tactile motion in humans

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Many recent studies show that the human brain integrates information across the different senses and that stimuli of one sensory modality can enhance the perception of other modalities.

Age-Related Changes in the Perception of Emotions in Speech: Assessing Thresholds of Prosody and Semantics Recognition in Noise for Young and Older Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Older adults process emotions in speech differently than do young adults. However, it is unclear whether these age-related changes impact all speech channels to the same extent, and whether they originate from a sensory or a cognitive source. The current
