The site at which rhodopsin bleaching raises the scotopic threshold.
Preadapting bleaches were delivered to the human eye through gratings of 30 minperiod. Using stabilized retinal imagery d~k-a~p~tion curves were determined for a thinline placed on bleached and unbleached areas. Early in the scotopic phase of dark-adaptationa tenfold difference was found between thresholds on and off the bleached stripes. This seriouslychanges the meaning of the...
متن کاملStudies on Pain. a New Method for Measuring Pain Threshold: Observations on Spatial Summation of Pain.
The purpose of these studies has been to present a new method for measuring pain thresholds, together with experimental observations on the physiology of pain and on the effect of various chemical agents upon pain thresholds. Methods for estimating the intensity of the stimulus required to evoke a painful sensation in the skin may be classified under the headings: mechanical, chemical, electric...
متن کاملPain threshold and arthritis.
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. In ankylosing spondylitis the pain threshold was higher and was not related to pain or analge...
متن کاملReliability and responsiveness of algometry for measuring pressure pain threshold in patients with knee osteoarthritis
[Purpose] This study aimed to establish the intrarater reliability and responsiveness of a clinically available algometer in patients with knee osteoarthritis as well as to determine the minimum-detectable-change and standard error of measurement of testing to facilitate clinical interpretation of temporal changes. [Subjects] Seventy-three patients with knee osteoarthritis were included. [Metho...
متن کاملCold Pain Threshold Identifies a Subgroup of Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis That Present With Multimodality Hyperalgesia and Elevated Pain Levels
OBJECTIVES Cold hyperalgesia has been established as an important marker of pain severity in a number of conditions. This study aimed to establish the extent to which patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) demonstrate widespread cold, heat, and pressure hyperalgesia. OA participants with widespread cold hyperalgesia were compared with the remaining OA cohort to determine whether they could be d...
