Global QST outcomes
pain
COLD, CENTRAL SENSITIZATION, SENSITIVITY
Two global QST outcomes were derived from the full testing battery: (1) Central Sensitization (average Z-scores of thermal and mechanical temporal summations, conditioned pain modulation, and after-sensation ratings) and (2) General Sensitivity (average Z-scores of pressure and thermal thresholds, thermal tolerance, cold pressor threshold and tolerance), with higher values representing greater sensitization and sensitivity, respectively.
