[Application of pain pressure threshold test in lumbar intervertebral disc herniation study].

Objective: To quantify pain pressure threshold(PPT) in the patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation before and after treatment, and to study the clinical effects of the PPT test in lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.

Methods: From January to December 2017, 59 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc hernation were treated, and another 59 normal persons were recruited as the normal control group. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure the patient's subjective pain intensity at admission, and the pain threshold of lumbar posterior joints was measured by the tenderness gauge.
