Effect of Facial Sensory Re-training on Sensory Thresholds [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2007 Nearly 100% of patients experience trauma to the trigeminal nerve during orthognathic surgery, impairing sensation and sensory function on the face. In a recent randomized clinical trial, people who performed sensory re-training exercises reported less difficulty related to residual numbness and decreased lip sensitivity than those who performed ...

Towards Stochastic Fault-tolerant Control using Precision Learning and Active Inference [PDF]
Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge
Discovery in Databases. ECML PKDD 2021. Communications in Computer and
Information Science, vol 1524. Springer, Cham, 2021 This work presents a fault-tolerant control scheme for sensory faults in robotic manipulators based on active inference. In the majority of existing schemes, a binary decision of whether a sensor is healthy (functional) or faulty is made based on measured data. The decision boundary is called a threshold and it is usually deterministic.

Hypnotic relaxation results in elevated thresholds of sensory detection but not of pain detection [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Many studies show an effectiveness of hypnotic analgesia. It has been discussed whether the analgesic effect is mainly caused by the relaxation that is concomitant to hypnosis.

Effects of acupuncture on sensory perception: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: The effect of acupuncture on sensory perception has never been systematically reviewed; although, studies on acupuncture mechanisms are frequently based on the idea that changes in sensory thresholds reflect its effect on the nervous system ...

Effect of low-frequency deep brain stimulation on sensory thresholds in Parkinson's disease.
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2017 OBJECTIVE Chronic pain is a major distressing symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that is often undertreated. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) delivers high-frequency stimulation (HFS) to patients with PD and has been effective in ...

Injury Threshold of Oral Contact with Hot Foods and Method for Its Sensory Evaluation
Safety, 2018 Epidemiological studies indicate an increased risk of esophageal cancer from the consumption of very hot foods and beverages. The contact time and the contact temperature are decisive for the risk of injury.
