Acupuncture and Sensory Thresholds

The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1989
The effect of acupuncture on sensory thresholds was studied in 6 healthy subjects. The modes of acupuncture studied were: 1. manual stimulation, 2. electrical stimulation at 2 Hz, 3. electrical stimulation at 80 Hz. Superfiscial-acupuncture was used as placebo. Insertions of needles or application of electrodes were bilateral, at St 7 (intrasegmental)

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.

Sensory Thresholds of Normal Human Feet

Foot & Ankle International, 2000
Hypotheses/Purpose: Although several studies in the literature have evaluated the abnormal sensory thresholds of diabetic feet to Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing, there is very limited data on the sensory thresholds of individuals without diabetes or peripheral neuropathy.

Viewing touch improves tactile sensory threshold

NeuroReport, 2005
Previous research on multisensory integration has demonstrated that viewing the stimulated body part enhances discrimination ability. Participants in this experiment watched a video showing a hand being touched by a stick and a second video showing the stick touching the space beneath the hand.

SENSORY THRESHOLDS: CONCEPTS AND METHODS

Journal of Sensory Studies, 1998
A sensory threshold can be defined generally as a stimulus intensity that produces a response in half of the trials. The definition of the population threshold is discussed. Five main classical statistical procedures for estimating thresholds are reviewed.

EXTRAVERSION AND SENSORY THRESHOLD

Psychophysiology, 1968
ABSTRACTIt was predicted that Introverts would have lower auditory thresholds than Extraverts, in line with other physiological differences between these groups. Using an ear‐choice technique and controlling the factor of guessing, the prediction was verified, using non‐patients who score at the two ends of the Eysenck Personality Inventory.

Measurement of Sensory Thresholds

1999
One of the earliest characteristics of human sensory function to be measured was the absolute threshold. The absolute or detection threshold was seen as an energy level below which no sensation would be produced by a stimulus and above which a sensation would reach consciousness. The concept of threshold was central to Fechner’s psychophysics.

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.
