Usage of Thermotest

 
Abstract:

This post is also available in: English Slovenščina (Slovenian)

Modern neurophysiological methods (including the accurate psychophysical Marstock method) were used to determine sensitivity to heat, cold, and pain due to heat and cold (specific thermal and pain sensitivity) in six groups of patients suffering from various diseases (type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, primary Sjögren’s syndrome, peripheral neuropathy of various etiologies, syringomyelia and multiple sclerosis). Various types of abnormalities were found, but no specific alteration patterns were identified. The abnormalities recorded depended upon the stage of the disease. The study confirms that thermotest is a sensitive, although unfortunately unspecific, index of somatoesthesia. The method is appropriate for following the disease or its progression during rehabilitation. For an exact diagnosis of somatosensory dysfunction, aberrant sensations are at least as important as hypo- or hyperesthetic phenomena.
