Abstract

Pain is an experience common to us all. There are various methods of attempting to measure pain in an individual. Pain threshold would appear to be the most useful of these as it is atraumatic and repeatable over long periods in healthy individuals. Various factors affect pain threshold such as anxiety. There are a number of ways of measuring pain threshold the requirement for these being similar, for example producing no tissue damage. Pain threshold appears to change in various clinical conditions such as osteoarthrosis of the hip once the painful condition is relieved the threshold may revert back to normal. Other painful conditions such as rheumatiod arthritis do not appear to alter the pain threshold. Pain threshold does not appear to be altered by analgesic drugs, however other drugs may alter the pain threshold.

摘要

疼痛是我们所有人都有的一种体验。有多种方法试图测量个体的疼痛。疼痛阈值似乎是其中最有用的，因为它是非创伤性的，并且在健康个体中可以长期重复测量。多种因素会影响疼痛阈值，比如焦虑。有多种测量疼痛阈值的方法，这些方法的要求相似，例如不会造成组织损伤。在各种临床病症中，疼痛阈值似乎会发生变化，比如髋关节骨关节炎，一旦疼痛状况缓解，阈值可能会恢复正常。其他疼痛病症，如类风湿性关节炎，似乎不会改变疼痛阈值。镇痛药似乎不会改变疼痛阈值，然而其他药物可能会改变疼痛阈值。
