Changes in patient's local pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold
Select the most prominent pain points on the waist and buttocks of the patients, and use the YISIDA DS2-100N electronic pain measurement instrument to measure the local pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold. During the operation, the examiner places the pain measurement probe vertically on the skin surface at a constant rate and applies pressure uniformly. When the patient clearly states "I feel pain" for the first time, immediately stop applying pressure and record the value at this moment, which is defined as the pain threshold. Then continue to slowly increase the pressure. When the patient states "The pain is unbearable and the stimulation must be stopped", immediately remove the probe and record this value; the pain tolerance threshold is equal to this value minus the pain threshold. Compare the results before and after this experiment, and judge the therapeutic effect by observing the changes in the pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold.
