Abstract

Abstract Aims: The objective of this study was to establish the reliability and validity of the measurement of the pressure pain threshold using the Dolorimetro Electronico Portatil (Portable Electronic Dolorimeter) (DEP®) in persons without pain (12 men and 18 women) and in patients with chronic pain (16 women with systemic lupus erythematosus, 16 women with fibromyalgia and 15 women with rheumatoid arthritis). Methods: The assessment of the pressure pain threshold using the DEP® was done over three sessions with a 15 minute interval between the first and second session, and a 7 day interval between the second and third session. Each session comprised two trials in which 24 pressure points were evaluated. Results: Regarding reliability, high correlation coefficients were obtained in the three temporal conditions (within sessions without interval: ρ = 0.922, p < 0.001; inmediate, or brief interval between sessions (15 min): ρ = 0.932, p < 0.001; demorated, or long interval between sessions (7 days): ρ = 0...

Dolorímetro Electrónico Portátil®(便携式电子测痛仪)疼痛阈值测量在健康个体和肌肉骨骼疼痛患者中的可靠性和有效性

摘要目的:本研究的目的是建立在无痛人群(12名男性和18名女性)和慢性疼痛患者(16名患有系统性红斑狼疮的女性、16名患有纤维肌痛的女性和15名患有类风湿关节炎的女性)中使用Dolorimetro Electronico Portatil(便携式电子疼痛计)(DEP®)测量压力痛阈值的信度和效度。方法:使用DEP®评估压力痛阈值分为三个阶段，第一阶段和第二阶段之间间隔15分钟，第二阶段和第三阶段之间间隔7天。每个疗程包括两个试验，其中24个压力点进行评估。结果:在信度方面，三种时间条件下(无间隔时段内)均获得较高的相关系数:ρ = 0.922, p < 0.001;两组间的即时或短暂间隔(15分钟):ρ = 0.932, p < 0.001;士气低落，或会议间隔时间长(7天):ρ = 0…
