Quantitative sensory testing (QST) at the affected hand for all subjects over time. While the mechanical parameters are all within the confidence interval for age-corrected healthy subjects (dashed line − 95% confidence interval), there are impressive changes for the thermal detection thresholds, especially for the cold detection threshold (CDT). After therapy, these parameters returned in a direction towards normalization. WDT – warm detection threshold, TSL – thermal sensory limen, CPT – cold pain threshold, HPT – heat detection threshold, MDT – mechanical detection threshold, MPT – mechanical pain threshold, MPS – mechanical pain sensitivity, WUR – wind-up ratio, VDT – vibration detection threshold, PPT – pressure pain threshold; T1 – before intervention, T2–6 weeks, T3–12 weeks follow-up. QST-data were not obtained at 6 months follow-up.
