Abstract Description

There is an unmet need for being able to quantify changes in sensation for research and clinical care in a manner that can be repeated over time and can provide access for patients/research subjects who live far from medical facilities, have travel constraints, or during unique situations such as a pandemic. This pilot study could permit low cost repeated QST in the home setting. Examples of use include phenotyping patients with rare disorders, following the course of patients with nerve injuries, or tracking the intensity, duration and pattern of sensory block following prolonged regional anesthesia.
