Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is defined as the determination of thresholds for sensory perception under controlled stimulus. Our aim was to validate a new QST device for Brazilian sample. In 20 healthy adults, thermoalgesic thresholds were assessed using a QST prototype (Heat Pain Stimulator-1.1.10; Brazil). A 30 × 30 mm² thermode with a 1°C/s stimulus change rate were applied. Thresholds of three consecutive stimuli were averaged in two different sessions separated by at least two weeks. Additionally long thermal heat pain stimulus was performed. To evaluate the consistency of our method we also analyzed 11 patients with small fiber neuropathy. Results showed good reproducibility of thermal perception thresholds in normal individuals and plausible abnormal thresholds in patients. We conclude that our QST device is reliable when analyzing the nociceptive pathway in controls and patients.

Abstract Background Through the analysis of clinical data, we attempted to investigate the etiology and determine the risk of severe iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries in the removal of the mandibular third molar. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who had undergone microsurgical repair of lingual nerve injuries. The following data were collected and analyzed: patient sex, age, nerve injury side, type of impaction (Winter’s classification, Pell and Gregory’s classification). Ratios for the respective lingual nerve injury group data were compared with the ratios of the respective data for the control group, which consisted of data collected from the literature. The data for the control group included previous patients that encountered various complications during the removal of the mandibular third molar. Results The lingual nerve injury group consisted of 24 males and 58 females. The rate of female patients with iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries was significantly higher than the control groups. Ages ranged from 15 to 67 years, with a mean age of 36.5 years old. Lingual nerve injury was significantly higher in the patient versus the control groups in age. The lingual nerve injury was on the right side in 46 and on the left side in 36 patients. There was no significant difference for the injury side. The distoangular and horizontal ratios were the highest in our lingual nerve injury group. The distoangular impaction rate in our lingual nerve injury group was significantly higher than the rate for the control groups. Conclusion Distoangular impaction of the mandibular third molar in female patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may be a higher risk factor of severe lingual nerve injury in the removal of mandibular third molars.

BackgroundRetrospective investigation of the somatosensory profile and prediction of histologic small fiber neuropathy (SFN) in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) was performed using quantitative sensory testing (QST) as a standardized noninvasive test.MethodsIn this investigation, full data sets from 30 patients (age: 34.03 ± 10.82 years, n = 6 males), including results of autonomic function testing, norepinephrine values, skin biopsy, and QST, were retrospectively analyzed. The QST data were compared with healthy controls (HCs) (age: 34.20 ± 10.5 years, n = 6 males, t test: 0.95).ResultsThe evaluation of all QST parameters in POTS compared with HCs yielded differences in all thermal parameters (cold detection threshold: p < 0.05, warm detection threshold: p < 0.001, thermal sensory limen: p < 0.001, cold pain threshold: p < 0.05, and heat pain threshold: p < 0.001) and in paradoxical heat sensations (p < 0.05). Differences in nonpainful stimuli (mechanical detection threshold: p < 0.05 and vibration detection threshold: p < 0.001) were also detected. All patients who had clinical signs of SFN in combination with impairment of small fibers in QST also had SFN on skin biopsy.ConclusionThese results suggest that a non–region-specific SFN in POTS compared with controls can be detected by noninvasive QST that predicts histologic small fiber pathology.
