This study evaluated the short- and long-term reliability of selected QSTs. Methods: Twenty healthy women participated in three experimental sessions: Baseline, 2 weeks, and 6 months. Measurements included pressure pain thresholds (PPT) in the neck, upper back, and leg; Pressure-cuff pain tolerance around the upper-arm; conditioned pain modulation during a pressure-cuff stimulus; and referred pain following a suprathreshold pressure stimulation. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and minimum detectable change (MDC) were calculated. Results: Reliability for PPT was excellent for all sites at 2 weeks (ICC, 0.96–0.99; MDC, 22–55 kPa) and from good to excellent at 6 months (ICC, 0.88–0.95; MDC, 47–91 kPa). ICC for pressure-cuff pain tolerance indicated excellent reliability at both times (0.91–0.97). For conditioned pain modulation, reliability was moderate for all sites at 2 weeks (ICC, 0.57–0.74; MDC, 24%–35%), while it was moderate at the neck (ICC, 0.54; MDC, 27%) and poor at the upper back and leg at 6 months. ICC for referred pain areas was excellent at 2 weeks (0.90) and good at 6 months (0.86). Conclusions: PPT, pressure pain tolerance, and pressure-induced referred pain should be considered reliable procedures to assess the pain-sensory profile over time. In contrast, conditioned pain modulation was shown to be unstable. Future studies prospectively analyzing the pain-sensory profile will be able to better calculate appropriate sample sizes. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/FPI/CPB09-2018 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/FPU19-05237 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 3.4 2023 CLINICAL NEUROLOGY 75 / 280 = 0.268 2023 Q2 T1 0.773 2023 Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine 2023 Q1 5.4 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Doménech-García, Víctor Palsson, Thorvaldur Skuli Herrero, Pablo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9201-0120 Christensen, Steffan Wittrup Mcphee 1006 413 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
