- Abstract
The results showed that the A pain threshold was less affected by aging, but significantly increased in participants with painful symptoms, and that the A pain threshold was significantly increased in not only known, but also in newly diagnosed, diabetes patients. In 2016, Kukidome I et al i .4 measured the pain threshold of A fibers on the foot dorsum in 120 diabetes patients and 76 individuals without diabetes using the PNS-7000 system. In 2002, Inui I et al i .3 showed that a new concentric electrode for intraepidermal electrical stimulation (IES electrode) made it possible to selectively stimulate cutaneous A fibers, thus being capable of determining the pain threshold of nociceptive A fibers.
