Quantitative and qualitative perceptual analysis of cold dysesthesia and hyperalgesia in fibromyalgia
B Berglund, EL Harju, E Kosek, U Lindblom - Pain, 2002 - Elsevier
Somatosensory perception thresholds, perceived intensity, and quality of perceptions were
assessed in 20 women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and in 20 healthy age-matched
female controls. All patients and controls scaled perceived intensity and described
perceived quality of randomized thermal (Thermotest) and tactile (von Frey filaments)
stimulation. Perceived intensity was scaled by free-number magnitude estimation and
interindividual comparability was accomplished by Master Scaling. Perceived quality was …
