scarcely investigated. This updated review assesses the effectiveness in predicting …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) has become a widely used method to evaluate different
submodalities of the somatic sensory system (predominantly) in patients with neuropathic …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) allows researchers to evaluate associations between
noxious stimuli and acute pain in clinical populations and healthy participants. Despite its …

Objective This review summarizes the scientific literature relating to the use of quantitative
sensory testing (QST) for mechanism-based pain management. Design A literature search …

Studies have suggested that quantitative sensory testing (QST) might hold a predictive value
for the development of chronic postoperative pain and the response to pharmacological …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST), a set of noninvasive methods used to assess sensory
and pain perception, has been used for three decades. The precision of the instruments and …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) investigates the graded psychophysical response to
controlled thermal, mechanical, electrical or chemical stimuli, allowing quantification of …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) has become commonly used for the assessment of pain
in subjects with clinical conditions. However, there is no consensus about which type of QST …

Preclinical studies have suggested that opioid exposure may induce a paradoxical decrease
in the nociceptive threshold, commonly referred as opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity to experimental pain of chronic
pain patients on opioid therapy vs chronic pain patients on non-opioid therapy and healthy …
