Objective.To assess pain sensitivity and spreading hyperalgesia in lateral epicondylalgia (LE).
Subjects.Twenty‐two women with LE, and 38 controls were included.
Outcome Measures.Computerized cuff pressure algometry was used for assessment of pressure‐pain threshold and tolerance. The stimulus was applied using a single (stimulation‐area: 241 cm2) or double‐chambered (stimulation‐area: 482 cm2)...
Chronic pain patients often suffer from widespread and long lasting pain. The integrative effect of combined spatial and temporal summation on pain intensity has not been quantitatively tested. The present study was designed to investigate: (1) if the size of the stimulation area would facilitate the temporal summation of pain to repetitive pressure stimulation, and (2) if temporal summation is effective...
This study assessed spatial and temporal aspects of pressure pain during increasing and constant compressions using a cuff algometer and during adaptive compressions using a closed-loop feedback system for maintaining stable pain. Experimental setup consisted of a pneumatic tourniquet cuff, a computer-controlled air compressor, and a 10-cm electronic visual analogue scale (VAS). The first experiment...
