MS = multiple sclerosis; SCI = spinal cord disease; ST = sensory threshold; NWR Th = nociceptive withdrawal reflex threshold; NRS Th = numerical rating scale (0–10) at NWR Th; area = area under the curve of the NWR at Th; TST = temporal summation threshold of the NWR; NRS 5°st = numerical rating scale (0–10) at 5° stimulus of the TST.
