Pain threshold was measured in 106 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 50 with ankylosing spondylitis, and 50 normal controls using Keele's algometer. In rheumatoid arthritis patients with a low pain threshold had more severe pain for a greater part of the day and required more tablets for pain relief. In ankylosing spondylitis the pain threshold was higher and was not related to pain or analgesic requirements. There was no evidence that pain threshold affected the course or outcome of rheumatoid arthritis in any way.
使用基尔痛觉计对106例类风湿性关节炎患者、50例强直性脊柱炎患者和50名正常对照者进行痛阈测量。在类风湿性关节炎患者中,痛阈较低者在一天中的大部分时间疼痛更严重,且需要更多片药物来缓解疼痛。在强直性脊柱炎患者中,痛阈较高,且与疼痛或镇痛需求无关。没有证据表明痛阈以任何方式影响类风湿性关节炎的病程或结局。
