Absolute threshold -- the minumum intensity of a stimulus that one can detect. Difference threshold -- the minimum difference in intensity between two stimuli that one can detect.
Properly defined, the threshold is really the experience of the patient, whereas the intensity measured is an external event. It has been common usage for most pain research workers to define the threshold in terms of the stimulus, and that should be avoided.
