Quantitative assessment of altered thermal sensation in patients suffering from cutaneous nerve disorders.
In psychophysical experiments on recognition of warm and cold stimuli delivered to the hand, the onset of perception was considerably delayed in patients suffering from traumatic lesions of cutaneous nerves or from carpal tunnel syndrome. This delay of perception is significantly correlated with the loss of discrimination ability for thermal stimuli.
