目的：定量感官测试目前主要使用阈值来评估体感敏感性。还研究了不同会话之间不同测量的可变性，但尚未考虑阈值或基于主题的报告的单个单独测量的可变性。本研究旨在探讨单次阈值变异性作为衡量体感功能内部一致性的潜在价值。 方法：由德国神经性疼痛研究网络开发的标准化定量感觉测试组对 70 名健康参与者和 22 名颞下颌疾病疼痛参与者的眶下区、精神区和手部区域进行了双边测试。通过计算一次阈值测定中三到五次重复测量的变异系数来研究体感变异性。评估了侧面、性别、部位、年龄和疼痛存在对体感变异性的影响。 结果：在健康参与者中，体感变异性具有区域依赖性：对于 CDT、WDT、HPT、MDT-N、MPT-Y、MPT-N、WUR 和 MPS，手 > 精神和/或眶下（对于 VDT，p 手 (p = 0.001)；对于 HPT，精神 > 眶下） 和 WUR（p
Objectives: Quantitative sensory testing has mainly used thresholds to evaluate somatosensory sensitivity so far. The variability of different measures from session to session has also been investigated, but the variability of the single individual measures of a threshold or subject-based reports has not been considered. This study aimed to investigate the potential value of threshold variability in one session as a measure of internal consistency in somatosensory function.Methods: The standardized quantitative sensory testing battery developed by the German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain was performed bilaterally over the infraorbital, mental, and hand regions in 70 healthy and 22 temporomandibular disorder pain participants. Somatosensory variability was investigated by calculating the Coefficient of Variation of three to five repeated measures in one threshold determination. The influences of side, gender, site, age, and presence of pain on the somatosensory variability were evaluated.Results: In the healthy participants, somatosensory variability was region dependent: hand > mental and/or infraorbital for CDT, WDT, HPT, MDT-N, MPT-Y, MPT-N, WUR, and MPS (p hand for VDT (p = 0.001), mental > infraorbital for HPT and WUR (p
