Neurosensory sequelae assessed by thermal and vibrotactile perception thresholds after local cold injury [PDF]
International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2014 Local freezing cold injuries are common in the north and sequelae to cold injury can persist many years. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) can be used to assess neurosensory symptoms but has previously not been used on cold injury patients.To evaluate neurosensory sequelae after local freezing cold injury by thermal and vibrotactile perception ...
