Hormonal influences on thermotactile threshold, pain perception threshold and tolerance: A digital thermoaesthesiometer study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study was undertaken to compare thermotactile and pain perception thresholds and tolerance in males and females with the help of a digital thermoaesthesiometer. In addition, the influence of the cyclical variation of hormones in the menstrual cycle on these sensory responses was investigated. Method: Two hundred thirty-six healthy subjects (118 males and 118 females) of 18-30 years of age participated in the study. Using the method of limits, hot thresholds and cold thresholds with pain perception and pain tolerance were measured on the index and little fingers of the right and left hand using a digital thermoaesthesiometer. Result: Findings revealed statistically significant variations in these responses based on gender and the side of the body. Females are more sensitive to thermal sensation by having a lower thermotactile threshold. They have significantly higher sensitivity and pain tolerance during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Conclusion: These results contribute to a deeper understanding of individual differences in sensory perception and have implications for clinical applications.
