From: Somatosensory abnormalities in Chinese patients with painful temporomandibular disorders
Absolute and relative abnormalities for temporomandibular disorder patients in the painful area. Values outside the 95 % confidence intervals of the healthy reference data are considered to be absolute abnormalities, and differences of the affected side versus the unaffected side outside the 95 % confidence intervals of such differences of the healthy reference data are considered to be relative abnormalities. The y-axis shows the percentage of patients (n = 40), with positive sensory signs plotted upwards and negative sensory signs plotted downwards. CDT: cold detection threshold; WDT: warmth detection threshold; TSL: thermal sensory limen; CPT: cold pain threshold; HPT: heat pain threshold; MDT: mechanical detection threshold; MPT: mechanical pain threshold; MPS: mechanical pain sensitivity; WUR: windup ratio; VDT: vibration detection threshold; PPT: pressure pain threshold
