JND: Just noticeable difference: discrete magnitudes of stimulation by the CASE IV device exponential algorithmic function; CDT, cold detection threshold; VDT, vibration detection threshold; ICC, intra-class correlation coefficient. Approximate change from baseline is mean of minimum degrees of temperature/ μm vibration required for patients to perceive stimulus from baseline temperature/ vibration at beginning of CASE IV testing paradigm.
