Pain diagnostics in people with hemophilia – pain pressure thresholds and influence of age and joint status
This study demonstrates that PPT measurement is an important method of pain assessment in PwH. Joint-specific PPT values are independent of age and correlate with the presence of affected joints, potentially reflecting the local joint condition, while NRS categories likely represent the overall pain status. Therefore, PPT is a useful tool for pain assessment in PwH, particularly for the diagnosis of joint-specific pain sensitivity.
