BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 08/03/09
Nixdorf DR et al. – Current methods for identifying patients with pain hypersensitivity are sufficiently complex to limit their widespread application in clinical settings. The authors assessed the reliability and validity of a simple multi–modal vibrotactile stimulus, applied using an electric toothbrush, to evaluate its potential as a screening tool for central sensitization...The electric toothbrush stimulus had excellent test–retest reliability. Validity of the scores was demonstrated with modest sensitivity and good specificity for differentiating TMD pain patients from controls, which are acceptable properties for a screening test.
