Correlation of Pain Tolerance with Participant Predicated VS Therapist Estimated One RM in Normal Individuals

There are lack of evidences regarding correlation of pain tolerance and strength in the Population. In previous studies pain threshold was measured by providing heat using Medoc Thermal Sensory Analyzer ,Pressure Algometer or Autoalgometer, Ice Cold Cylinder, but as it is not available in our OPD we prefer using Galvanic Current for its availability . In this study pain tolerance will be checked using galvanic current

As 1 RM is very important entity in exercise program we want to find if it is correlated with pain tolerance

Aim of our study is to check whether individual who have less pain tolerance assume that they have less strength or Is there any correlation or discrepancy between participant predicted and therapist estimated 1RM.

The implications and therapeutic applications of these findings are significant and wide ranging if laboratory  based measurement of individual differences in pain sensitivity can prospectively predict individual differences in acute clinical pain, chronic pain and pain medication response.

In multiple papers and reviews, recent research has highlighted the potential therapeutic uses of experimental pain assessment (e.g., for predicting post-operative pain, therapy response, etc.). These papers and reviews have used quantitative sensory testing to quantify pain sensitivity.

Quantitative sensory assessments of pain sensitivity aren’t used very often because of the time, money, and expertise requirements, not to mention their costs. So, the purpose of this study is to determine whether self-reporting can be a valid indicator of a person’s pain threshold and patient anticipated 1 RM.
