摘要

This study examined the impact of demographic variables and psychiatric comorbidities on the current perception threshold (CPT) values among patients recently suffering from chronic primary and secondary pain defined recently. A total of 182 patients, comprising 65% females, were analyzed to determine CPT differences across age, gender, and psychiatric status. Our results indicated that CPT values were significantly higher among males (15.6 ± 6.9 μA) than among females (12.6 ± 9.0 μA; p = 0.0126). Although CPT values tended to increase with age, the differences were not significant. Psychiatric comorbidities significantly impact CPT values in patients with chronic primary pain. The mean CPT value for patients who received psychiatric visits was 9.6 ± 2.7 μA, which was significantly lower than that observed in patients without such consultations (15.0 ± 14.7 μA). In patients with chronic secondary pain, those who received psychiatric visits exhibited CPT values of 13.3 ± 5.1 μA. These findings indicate that gender and psychiatric visits significantly influenced sensory perception in patients with chronic pain, underscoring the necessity for tailored pain management strategies. Elevated CPT values in patients with chronic primary pain also suggest the presence of minor peripheral neuropathy, highlighting the importance of comprehensive neurological assessments.
