Assessment of somatosensory function at the TMJ revealed that arthralgia patients were less sensitive to warmth, cold and tactile stimuli than OA patients (P < 0.048).
By contrast, with quantitative sensory testing, perception of warmth, cold and pressure pain was reduced on the cluster side as compared with the contralateral asymptomatic side in a pooled group of episodic and chronic CH patients [161, 162]; warm detection thresholds and thermal sensory limen on the affected side correlated negatively with elapsed time since last attack [162].
Recent studies, however, emphasize the importance of the acupuncture-specific needling sensation "deqi" [37], [38] usually described with the words "soreness", "aching", "deep pressure", "heaviness", "fullness/distension", "tingling", "numbness", "dull pain", "warmth", "cold" and "throbbing" [37], while "sharp pain" is usually considered not to be part of this sensation [38].
Seven most common descriptors in Chinese, which were soreness, numbness, heaviness, warmth, cold, sharp pain and dull pain, were selected for minor modifications.
Threshold temperatures for the sensation of warmth, cold, heat pain, and cold pain were determined using a computerized Thermo test (Somedic, Fastan, Sweden) as previously described (16, 17).
Sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) mediate somatic sensations such as touch, warmth, cold and pain and can be classified as mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors and nociceptors (Lewin and Moshourab, 2004).
QST included thresholds for touch, cold, warmth, cold-pain, heat-pain, deep pressure pain and wind-up to cutaneous noxious stimuli.
QST included thresholds for touch, cold, warmth, cold-pain, heat-pain, deep pressure pain and wind-up to cutaneous noxious stimuli in the foot soles.
It kept you warm in the warmth and cold in the cold, all static electricity and jogger's nipple, exactly as nature intended it.
Thermoreceptors are of two types, warmth and cold.
Her sparse poetry resonates with the contrasts between light and dark, knowledge and ignorance, warmth and cold.
