The pressure pain tolerance (PPT) is the minimum amount of pressure that leads to discomfort or pain sensation. PPT was measured using (Wagner Force Dial FDK 20″; Wagner Instruments, Greenwich, CT) Algometer.^{19 (link)} Algometric measurements have been shown as a reliable method to assess PPT.^{20 (link)} It consisted of a 1 cm² rubber tip and a dial that could display the pressure of up to 10 kg with graduation with 100 g. Algometer was placed perpendicular on the marked TP, and then the pressure was applied almost at a rate of 1 kg/(cm²·sec) until the pressure caused a pain. The maximum pressure displayed by the Algometer was recorded. Three measurements were obtained, and the mean value was calculated.

Pain threshold will be evaluated using the Force Dial FDK 20 algometer is a handheld device manufactured by Wagner Instruments. Pressure will be applied to the body of the muscle to be evaluated until pain is felt. Participants will be asked to report when they first feel the pressure as pain, and the value on the algometer will be recorded in kg. Evaluation areas: Vastus medialis, Pectoralis major, Gluteus maximus, Gluteus medius, Iliopsoas, Lumbar paraspinalis, Trapezius muscles.^{[34 ,35 (link)]}

Analogue Algometer Reliability Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A Wagner algometer (Force Dial FDK 20, Wagner Instruments, Greenwich. Connecticut) with a 1 cm² probe area was used as an analogue algometer (Fig. 1B). The hand-held Wagner algometer with a digital reading function shows comparable correlations to a force plate (Pearson’s r = 0.99) [24 (link)]. Previous studies with comparable hand-held analogue algometers showed ICC values for intrarater reliability ranging from 0.79 to 0.91 in healthy participants [14 (link)] and from 0.90 to 0.97 for people with chronic tension-type headache [16 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
