Can within-subject comparisons of thermal thresholds be used for diagnostic purposes?
Objective: Quantitative thermal testing (QTT) is a psychophysical assessment method of small nerve fibers that relies on reference material to assess function. Normal limits for within-subject comparisons of thermal thresholds are scarce, and their association with age, height and sex is not fully e...
