Table 1. Comparison of Pain Tolerance and Pain Experience Between Groups on Finger Testing.

Variable Asymptomatic group mean (SD) Symptomatic group mean (SD) P-value
Self-reported pain tolerance 6.7 (1.5) 6.5 (1.7) 0.04
Pain experienced during test 3.2 (2.2) 3.4 (2.6) 0.97

3 = height of 12 inches. The asymptomatic study group reported a significant higher pain tolerance than the patients. However, there was no significant difference in the pain experienced during the finger test between groups (P = 0.97).
