CDT, cold detection threshold; WDT, warm detection threshold; TSL, thermal sensory limen; CPT, cold pain threshold; HPT, heat pain threshold; PPT, pressure pain threshold; MPT, mechanical pain threshold; MPS, mechanical pain sensitivity; WUR, wind-up ratio; MDT, mechanical detection threshold; VDT, vibration detection threshold; PHS, paradoxical heat sensation; DMA, dynamical mechanical allodynia.
Raw data were transformed to z-scores. Scores within the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the reference group (z-score <1.96 or >1.96) are defined as normal. Values >1.96 indicate an increase in sensitivity (hyperesthesia), and values <−1.96 indicate a loss of sensitivity (hypoesthesia).
