简要总结
Previous studies have reported that asthmatic or chronic pulmonary obstructive disease patients have an increased response to pain stimulus. However, this aspect has not been evaluated in allergic patients. Additionally, the difference in pain sensitivity between asymptomatic period crisis have not been evaluated yet.

结局指标
主要结局
Pressure pain threslhold
时间窗: Up to 24 weeks
The pain pressure thresholds (PPTs) were evaluated by an analogic manual mechanical algometer. This tool consisted of a circular platform with an area of 1 cm2 area, which was perpendicularly applied to generate progressive pressure on the skin at a 1 kg/sec rate. The points selected were chose based on a previous study in asthma patients. Patient was assessed in a seated position and pressure was applied two times at five bilateral points of the body: At two distal points, the distal thumb phalangeal and the gracilis muscle tendon at the inside of the knee. Further at three points at the chest, the costae II, distal of the midst part of the clavicle, the supraspinous muscle and the trapezius muscle's second portion, between the angulus superior at scapulae and the vertebral column.
