Newly-developed measuring device for the quantitative assessment of thermal and pain thresholds of peripheral nerves / Ein neu entwickeltes Messgerät zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Fühl- und Schmerzschwellen peripherer Nerven
2005
: Measuring devices for the quantitative assessment of thermal and pain thresholds are either simple and only suited for inexact tests or accurate and objective but expensive. The aim was there for to develop a cost effective device to enable a short and practical test of neurosensibility under clinical conditions. The result of this development is a new thermosensibility-measuring device (TSM) consisting of the measuring unit itself and a thermal probe. The data are registered and analysed through direct data transfer to a connected PC. Investigations carried out with this device revealed the construction to be efficient and easy to handle under clinical conditions. The TSM provides the examiner with the opportunity to monitor the neurosensory function of peripheral nerves in a reproducible way.
