摘要

Abstract Objectives A tool for measuring neck pain in patients with dizziness is needed to further investigate the relationship between the two symptoms. The objective of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of a hand‐held pressure algometer in measuring pressure pain threshold (PPT) in different cervical regions of dizzy patients. Methods PPT was measured at two bilateral standardized sites of the neck by a trained physiotherapist in 50 patients with dizziness. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated for intrarater and test–retest reliability. Concurrent validity was assessed by measuring the association between PPT and the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) tender points at each site and with the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). Results Almost perfect intrarater (ICC?=?0.815–0.940) and within‐session test–retest (ICC?=?0.854–0.906) reliability was found between the measures. On each site, a low PPT predicted a positive ACR tender point at each site (OR?=?0.864–0.922). Last, we found a statistical inverse relationship between the PPT and the NPRS ( R ?=??0.52 to ?0.66). Conclusion The study shows that a pressure algometer is a reliable tool for measuring PPT in the neck of dizzy patients. Further, the PPT correlates significantly with other subjective measures of pain indicating that it may be a useful tool for further research.
