Just before slipping off the timepiece, Mr. Robbins clutched the man's wrist while doing a coin trick — thereby lowering the sensory threshold on the wrist.
To study the feasibility and test retest repeatability of a sensory threshold examination protocol (STEP) and report the quantitative sensory threshold distributions in healthy dogs.
The sensory threshold was determined by application of single electric stimuli with increasing intensity until the stimulus was experienced.
After determination of the sensory threshold, we increased the stimulus intensity until the subjects rated the stimulus as painful for the first time.
First, some of our subjects had difficulties in determining the pain threshold whereas the sensory threshold was easy to detect in all subjects.
The final procedure allowed quantification far below IBMP's sensory threshold (1 ng l−1 versus 15 ng l−1) with a 4% standard deviation.
Remarkably, post-treatment with Y-27632 improved the sural nerve distal (peak) latency and sensory threshold to return to pre-treatment levels.
To evaluate the diagnostic value of the rectal sensory threshold for pain (RSTP) in children and adolescents with chronic abdominal pain.
It also increased heat pain thresholds (p=0.02) and CHEPS habituation at T5 (p=0.035), while reducing its latency (p=0.04).The F3 anode Oz cathode combination only reduced the nBR sensory threshold at T1 (p=0.039).
In the LEPs recording sessions, we used a fixed intensity set at 2.5 times the individual sensory threshold, defined as the lower stimulus intensity that elicited a distinct painful pinprick sensation.
