The response of paraspinal cutaneous pain tolerance levels to spinal manipulation has not been studied in an experimental model. This paper proposes such a model of pain tolerance measurement and describes the results of a controlled study of 50 assymptomatic subjects. The group receiving a spinal manipulation demonstrated a 140% increase in local cutaneous pain tolerance levels which was statistically significant (p less than 0.05). This is consistent with previous hypotheses regarding the mode of action of manipulation in the relief of spinal pain.
尚未在实验模型中研究脊柱旁皮肤痛耐受水平对脊柱手法治疗的反应。本文提出了这样一种痛耐受测量模型，并描述了一项针对50名无症状受试者的对照研究结果。接受脊柱手法治疗的组局部皮肤痛耐受水平提高了140%，具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。这与先前关于手法治疗缓解脊柱疼痛作用方式的假设一致。
