In recent years, several published articles have shown that quantitative sensory testing
(QST) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) are useful in the analysis of neck/shoulder and low …

Background Quantitative sensory testing, including pressure pain threshold (PPT), is seeing
increased use in clinical practice. In order to facilitate clinical utility, knowledge of the …

BACKGROUND: Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is decreased in several musculoskeletal
disorders, giving indirect evidence regarding pain status. Despite the fact that PPT has been …

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of
pressure pain threshold (PPT) testing in adults with and without neck-shoulder pain and …

Study Design Cross-sectional convenience sample. Objectives To describe the distribution
of scores for pressure pain threshold (PPT) at 2 standardized testing sites in people with …

Study Design Clinical measurement. Objectives To evaluate the intrarater, interrater, and
test-retest reliability of an accessible digital algometer, and to determine the minimum …

The assessment of pressure pain threshold (PPT) provides a quantitative value related to
the mechanical sensitivity to pain of deep structures. Although excellent reliability of PPT has …

Objectives: We aimed to explore the possible effects of musculoskeletal diagnosis and test
site on QST interrater and test–retest reliability. Methods: The study included participants …

Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to compare the threshold
in chronic pain patients and healthy individuals. Ovid MEDLINE and Embase up to July …

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the repeatability of dolorimeter measurements in
subjects with and without neck-shoulder symptoms and interobserver agreement in manual …
