Spontaneous pain, pain threshold, and pain tolerance in Parkinson’s disease

Journal of Neurology, 2010
The mechanisms underlying pain in Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear. Although a few studies have reported that PD patients may have low pain threshold and tolerance, none could accurately assess whether there was a correlation between sensory thresholds and demographic/clinical features of PD patients.

The Effect of Thiabendazole on Pain Threshold

Acta Pharmacologica et Toxicologica, 1985
Abstract:Thiabendazole significantly increased the reaction time to thermal stimulus. However, in mice treated with morphine, the reaction time was not in any way different from those treated with combined doses of thiabendazole and morphine. Thiabendazole was found to have an antinociceptive action. The protective dose for 50% of animal (ED50) against

Pain Tolerance Threshold and Pain Perception Threshold: Clinical and Experimental Studies

Clinics in Rheumatic Diseases, 1979
Many methods have been used to study pain experimentally. They make use of various noxious stimuli - heat, pressure, ischaemia, electrical discharge, or the injection of chemical pain mediators. They give rise to phasic or tonic pain and enable us to make fully or partially objective assessments of the pain perception threshold or the pain tolerance ...

Pain threshold and tolerance in Alzheimer's disease

Pain, 1999
We tested both pain thresholds and pain tolerance in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by means of phasic and tonic noxious stimuli. In the first case, electrical stimulation was used, whereas in the second case arm ischemia was studied. By comparing AD patients with normal subjects of the same age, we found no differences in stimulus detection ...

Tactile threshold and pressure pain threshold during treatment of orofacial pain: an explorative study

Clinical Oral Investigations, 2001
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pressure pain threshold (PPT), tactile threshold (TT) and pain intensity as measured on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in patients with pain in the orofacial region. Twenty-six patients with myogenous pain (7 ss), myogenous and capsular pain (11 ss) or neuropathic pain (8 ss) participated in the study. At

Pressure Pain Threshold in Children With Recurrent Abdominal Pain

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2000
ABSTRACTBackgroundExperimental studies on humans have shown that recurrent pain is associated with altered pain perception. We measured the pressure pain threshold in regions of the body surface in a group of children who had recurrent abdominal pain and in a group of children with chronic or recurrent disease but with no pain.MethodsEach group ...

Hypnotizability, pain threshold, and dissociative experiences

Biological Psychiatry, 1998
There may be an association between pain threshold, hypnotizability, and dissociative experiences. The purpose of the present study was to examine this association.Forty-one healthy subjects were included in the study. Pain thresholds were determined using a manual algometer.

Pain Threshold Tests in Patients With Heel Pain Syndrome

Foot & Ankle International, 2016
Background: Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is a useful tool for evaluating mechanical sensitivity in patients suffering from various musculoskeletal disorders. However, no previous study has investigated PPT in the heel of patients experiencing plantar heel pain syndrome (PHPS).

The Threshold of Pain and Neurotransmitter's Change on Pain in Parkinson's Disease

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1990
Abstract: Among Parkinson's disease (PD) patients complaining of pain, 10 with pain not associated with a motor fluctuation or L‐dopa therapy were evaluated. The controls were 14 PD without pain and eight with thalamic pain syndrome. The threshold of pain and neurotransmitters in CSF were measured in the three groups.

THE EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON PAIN THRESHOLD AND PAIN TOLERANCE

Physiotherapists, 2018
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of poor electrical conduction on superficial pain caused by the use of cigarettes. 90 people (18-35 years) including 40 individuals with at least 5 packets * years of smoking history and 50 individuals without smoking participated in the study.
