冷应激试验用于评估手臂振动综合征的血管疾病，并根据手指皮肤温度的测量，这样的测试的价值进行了研究。然而，各国和研究人员之间的测试条件存在很大差异。目前国际标准化组织正在讨论寒冷压力试验的标准化问题。本文综述了包括手指皮肤温度测量在内的冷应激试验的各个方面，包括水温、手部浸泡时间和其他试验条件，并评价了其诊断意义。水温从0 °C至15 °C变化，手浸时间从0.5分钟至20分钟变化。冷应激试验与相对严重的痛苦有关，因此，冷水温度较高，浸泡时间较短是可取的。然而，到目前为止，还没有足够的数据表明涉及15 °C左右冷水的测试方法的诊断价值。诊断值还受其他测试条件的影响，例如室温、季节、浸泡期间使用缺血。对于涉及手指皮肤温度测量的冷应力试验的标准化，这些因素必须与水温和浸泡时间一起考虑。
Cold-stress tests are used for evaluating vascular disorders in the hand-arm vibration syndrome, and the value of such tests based on finger skin temperature measurement has been investigated. However, there is a wide difference in the test conditions among countries and researchers. Standardization of the cold-stress tests is currently under discussion within the International Organization for Standardization. We reviewed various aspects of the cold-stress tests involving finger skin temperature measurement, including water temperature, hand immersion time and other test conditions, and evaluated their diagnostic significance. Water temperature varied from 0 °C to 15 °C and hand immersion time varied from 0.5 min to 20 min. The cold-stress tests are associated with relatively severe suffering, thus, higher temperature of cold water and shorter time of immersion are desirable. To date, however, there has not been sufficient data indicating diagnostic value in a test method involving cold water at around 15 °C. Diagnostic value is also influenced by other test conditions, such as room temperature, season, use of ischemia during immersion. For standardization of the cold-stress test involving finger skin temperature measurement, these factors must be considered together with water temperature and immersion time.
