About this trial

The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of somatosensory perception, pain threshold and kinesiophobia in individuals with SDH, to examine their relationship with upper extremity functional skills and to compare them with healthy individuals.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Somatosensory Perception Tests

    Other intervention

    Tactile Localization Test The tactile localization test assesses touch perception. Finger Recognition Test The participant is asked to point to their finger, which has been touched with a pen, while their eyes are closed. Double-Touch Stimulus Perception Test This test is based on the identification of two separate stimuli presented simultaneously.

  • The Visual Analog Scale

    Other intervention

    The Visual Analog Scale evaluates the intensity of pain felt by patients in different activities and time periods (rest, activity and night) in centimeters (cm).

  • Pain Threshold and Tolerance Assessment

    Other intervention

    Participants' pain threshold and tolerance to pressure are assessed using a digital algometer (JTech Medical Industries, ZEVEX Company).

  • Upper extremity functionality

    Other intervention

    Upper extremity functionality will be assessed using the DASH and Purdue Pegboard Manual Dexterity Test.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Upper extremity functionality

Upper extremity functionality will be assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire and Purdue Pegboard Manual Dexterity Test.The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher level of upper extremity disability.

Time frame
24-48 hours
2

Pain Threshold and Tolerance Assessment

Participants' pain threshold and tolerance to pressure are assessed using a digital algometer (JTech Medical Industries, ZEVEX Company).

Time frame
24-48 hours
3

Pain Assessment evaluates

Pain Assessment evaluates the intensity of pain felt by patients in centimeters (cm) during different activities and time periods (rest, activity and night).

Time frame
24-48 hours
