Pain Threshold and Arthritis [PDF]
BMJ, 1972 Pain threshold was measured in 106 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 50 with ankylosing spondylitis, and 50 normal controls using Keele's algometer. In rheumatoid arthritis patients with a low pain threshold had more severe pain for a greater part of the day and required more tablets for pain relief.

Pre-operative pain sensitivity: A prediction of post-operative outcome in the obstetric population [PDF]
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013 Context: Experimental assessments can determine pain threshold and tolerance, which mirror sensitivity to pain. This, in turn, influences the post-operative experience.

Quantitative and Qualitative Responses to Topical Cold in Healthy Caucasians Show Variance between Individuals but High Test-Retest Reliability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Increased sensitivity to cold may be a predictor of persistent pain, but cold pain threshold is often viewed as unreliable. This study aimed to determine the within-subject reliability and between-subject variance of cold response, measured ...

A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose-Response Trial of the Melatonin Effect on the Pain Threshold of Healthy Subjects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previous studies have suggested that melatonin may produce antinociception through peripheral and central mechanisms. Based on the preliminary encouraging results of studies of the effects of melatonin on pain modulation, the important question has been ...

What colour is my arm? Changes in skin colour of an embodied virtual arm modulates pain threshold [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 It has been demonstrated that visual inputs can modulate pain. However, the influence of skin colour on pain perception is unknown. Red skin is associated to inflamed, hot and more sensitive skin while blue is associated to cold. We aimed to test whether

Evaluation of perception threshold and pain in patients with Parkinson’s disease using PainVision®
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionPain is one of the most frequent non-motor symptoms occurring in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Traditionally, the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (FRS) have been ...
