Measurement of cutaneous thermal thresholds is a valuable technique for detecting small fibre neuropathy. A robust and portable microcomputer controlled system, which separately measures thresholds for warming and cooling, is described. Thresholds at three sites have been measured; the cheek, the dorsum of the hand and the sole of the foot. Regional variability and a correlation with age have been found, indicating the sensitivity of this system.
皮肤热阈值的测量是检测小纤维神经病变的一项重要技术。本文介绍了一种功能强大且便于携带的微机控制系统,该系统可分别测量温热和冷觉阈值。已对三个部位进行了阈值测量,分别是脸颊、手背和脚底。研究发现了区域差异以及与年龄的相关性,这表明了该系统的敏感性。
