Extraterritorial temperature pain threshold abnormalities in subjects with healed thermal injury.
Approximately 1.25 million individuals sustain burn injuries annually in the United States. Pain is frequent in patients with burn injuries and is often refractory to pharmacotherapy. We report quantitative sensory data from five subjects who sustained external thermal injuries to their limb(s) 8 weeks to 11 years previously, demonstrating reduced thermal pain thresholds in regions outside the ...

متن کاملA Review on Experimental Assessments of Pain Threshold in Healthy Human Subjects
A B S T R A C T There are three types of nerve fibers that are involved in the transmission of pain stimuli: C fibers (slower fibers) for thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli, A-delta fibers for thermal or mechanical stimuli and A-beta fibers for touch stimuli. Clinically, this is crucial in making an accurate assessment of the pain level experienced by a suffering patient, in indicating th...
متن کاملSex differences in the effect of dyspnea on thermal pain threshold in young healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND Previous study has demonstrated that dyspnea exerts inhibitory influence on pain, and empirical research supports the existence of sex differences in pain. To test the hypothesis that the inhibitory influence of dyspnea on the pain sensation may be less in females than in males, the authors investigated the sex differences in the responses of thermal pain threshold to dyspnea in heal...
