Brief Summary:
Under normal conditions, pain arises as a consequence of the activation of nociceptive afferents (small fibers) by an external stimulus with sufficient intensity to potentially cause tissue damage.This peripheral activation is processed as perception of pain by the central nervous system.In order to reliably evaluate the state of the nociceptive system in both clinical and experimental settings, standardized tests are essential.Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a set of tests used to measure the intensity of a…
