Reference intervals and sources of variation of pressure pain threshold for quantitative sensory testing in a Japanese population

Reference intervals and sources of variation of pressure pain threshold for quantitative sensory testing in a Japanese population

Abstract Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is useful when analysing musculoskeletal pain disorders. A handheld algometer is most commonly used for pressure pain threshold (PPT) tests. However, reference intervals for PPTs are not elucidated. We assessed reference intervals of PPTs for QST in 158 he...
