Educational Objectives
After completing this CE activity, the participant should be better able to:
 
Station I:

  • Differentiate between spontaneous and provoked neuropathic pain, recognizing the characteristic features, such as constant burning sensation, intermittent or paroxysmal nature, and the presence of dysesthesias and paresthesia’s.
  • Perform a comprehensive neurological examination in patients with suspected neuropathic pain, including the assessment of motor, sensory, and autonomic phenomena.
  • Identify signs of neurological dysfunction and accurately diagnose and localize the lesion site

Station II:

  • Describe the subtypes of nerve fibers that can be assessed with thermal QST approaches
  • Outline common protocols for assessing warmth and cold detection thresholds, as well as heat and cold pain thresholds in patients with neuropathic pain
  • Experience, hands-on, the measurements of thermal thresholds as a participants, and as a tester; compare and contrast the anticipated vs real sense of participating in a sensory testing session as a subject.

Station III:

  • Describe the subtypes of nerve fibers that can be assessed with mechanical QST approaches – i.e. Von Frey monofilaments, Pinprick, and pressure algometer
  • Outline common protocols for assessing mechanical detection threshold, mechanical pain threshold, dynamic mechanical allodynia, pressure pain thresholds, and temporal summation.
  • Experience, hands-on, the measurements of mechanical sensation and pain thresholds as a participants, and as a tester
  • Compare and contrast the anticipated vs real sense of participating in a sensory testing session as a subject.

Station IV:

  • Describe the value of QST for assessing nerve fibre function comprehensively.     
  • Explain the challenges of translating laboratory QST to point-of-care and bedside settings.     
  • Apply two common bedside QST protocols in their research and practice.
