Abstract:
Pressure pain detection threshold and pressure pain tolerance threshold were measured in the temples and on the fingers in 40 healthy volunteers, equally distributed as to sex and handedness. Lower pressure pain thresholds were found over the temporal muscle than in a neighbouring temporal location without interposed myofascial tissue ( p < 0.001), indicating that nociception from myofascial tissue contributes to the pressure pain threshold. Pressure pain tolerance was more reproducible within the individual subject but differed more between subjects than pressure pain detection. Pressure p

Abstract:
Pain is a prevalent and debilitating healthcare problem. Since pharmacological treatments have numerous side-effects, additional treatment could be beneficial. Music has been shown to affect the pain perception and the pain threshold. The objective of this observational study was to evaluate the effect of preferred music as opposed to disliked music on pain (tolerance) thresholds and perceived pain intensity in healthy volunteers. Pain thresholds were measured via quantitative sensory testing. The volunteers were randomly assigned to either handheld pressure algometry to assess the pressure pa

Abstract:
AbstractElectrical stimulation is one of the methods to stimulate skin sensation, and can provide sensations such as vibration and pressure by changing the polarity of the stimulus. These stimuli can be combined to design a variety of tactile sensations. However, there is a major problem with electrical stimulation: As the amount of electric current is increased, itching or pain sensation is elicited. This study aims to suppress the itching and pain caused by electrical stimulation, and to present strong, clear, and stable, pressure and vibration sensations. We applied an anesthetic cream containing lidocaine, which is one of the most used local anesthetics, to reduce the induced pain and itching. Therefore, we specifically examine the applicability of lidocaine toward a desirable situation, in which pain thresholds are increased and tactile thresholds are not significantly affected. The results showed a significant relationship between the application of the cream and the dynamic range of stimulating current, and subsequently the quality of experience by human participants.
