Jul 1, 2021 · The pooled pressure pain threshold mean difference was -1.17 (95% confidence interval = -1.45 to -0.90). There was, however, evidence of significant heterogeneity across the studies (I2 = 87.42%, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients who experience chronic pain have a significantly lower pressure pain threshold compared with healthy controls.
African–Americans report greater sensitivity (i.e., lower pain threshold) and reduced pain tolerance to a variety of quantitative sensory testing methods when compared with non-Hispanic whites, including thermal pain [21–24], cold pressor pain , ischemic pain , electrical stimulation and, perhaps most importantly (owing to their dynamic nature), increased temporal summation and reduced ...
Jul 20, 2012 · The threshold of pain intensity significantly increasing the risk for LTSA among female healthcare workers varies across body regions, with knee pain having the lowest threshold. This knowledge may be used in the prevention of LTSA among health care workers.
Pain threshold increases with age, which is indicated by a large effect size. This age-related change increases the wider the age-gap between groups; and is especially prominent when heat is used and when stimuli are applied to the head. In contrast, pain tolerance thresholds did not show substantial age-related changes. Thus, after many years ...
Mar 31, 2014 · Persistent pain was reported by: 30% of adults aged 45 to 64. 25% of adults aged 20 to 44. 21% of adults aged 65 and older. More women than men report pain (27.1% compared with 24.4%), although ...
However, the threshold stimulus can be recognized as such and measured. In psychophysics, thresholds are defined as the level at which 50% of stimuli are recognized. In that case, the pain threshold would be the level at which 50% of stimuli would be recognized as painful. The stimulus is not pain (q.v.) and cannot be a measure of pain.
The mean pain catastrophizing assessed by the PCS was 17.68 (SD = 7.92). 3.2. Pain thresholds. There were 360 pain threshold measurements in total, 120 each for the 3 conditions, equally distributed across participants. The mean pain threshold across all participants and conditions was 622.46 kPa (SE = 14.86; 95% confidence interval 592.16-650. ...
