为了诊断手臂振动综合症：欧洲、北美和日本已经研究了使用不同水温和手浸泡时间的冷应力测试。近年来，末梢循环和感官测试，包括将一只手浸入10摄氏度的冷水中10分钟的手指皮肤温度测量，在日本已被广泛接受。另一方面，国际标准化组织正在讨论血管评估方法的标准化。我们回顾了日本关于冷应激试验中手指皮肤温度测量的研究成果，特别是影响测试结果和诊断意义的因素。为了建立用于手臂振动综合征流行病学研究的冷应激测试，需要对影响测试结果的环境因素进行标准化，并报告其敏感性和特异性。
For the diagnosis of the hand-arm vibration syndrome: cold-stress tests using different water temperatures and periods of hand immersion have been investigated in Europe, North America, and Japan. In recent years, peripheral circulation and sensory tests, including finger-skin temperature measurement involving immersion of one hand in cold water at 10 degrees C for 10 min, have been widely accepted in Japan. On the other hand, standardization of the vascular assessment method is under discussion at the International Organization of Standardization. We reviewed research findings from Japan concerning finger-skin temperature measurement during the cold-stress test, especially factors influencing the test results and the diagnostic significance. For establishment of the cold-stress test for epidemiology studies of the hand-arm vibration syndrome, standardization of the environmental factors influencing the test results and reporting of its sensitivity and specificity are needed.
