“…Pain prevalence was 65% in DM2, 100% in FMS (p < 0 .001), and 15% in healthy controls (p < 0.001). Consistent with the results of our study, the mean pressure pain thresholds were lower in DM2 patients than in healthy controls; however, no differences were found in electric pain thresholds between DM2 and healthy controls [16]. According to the 184th ENMC International Workshop for pain and fatigue in neuromuscular disorders, pain scores were independent of age, impairments, physical activity level, or muscle force [1].…”

“…Thirty-four patients with genetically confirmed myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2), 28 patients with fibromyalgia (FMS), and 33 healthy controls were included into an explorative study, assessing qualitative and quantitative aspects of pain in DM2 [16]. Pain prevalence was 65% in DM2, 100% in FMS (p < 0 .001), and 15% in healthy controls (p < 0.001).…”

“…Furthermore, no correlations were found with the pain questionnaires and the mean PPT values could not discriminate DM2 patients with and without myalgia. PPT has been previously investigated in three studies on DM2 performed in comparison to healthy controls and/or fibromyalgia patients (25)(26)(27) with contradictory results. Several caveats related to the use of an algometer are responsible for these highly variable results: fat composition of the tested area, rate of application, experience of the examiner, size of the footplate and angle of application over the muscle (28).…”

“…In order to address this, the current study utilized a pressure algometer to assess pain-related behavior objectively. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a clinical method of objectively measuring pain based on a patient's response to graded stimuli 19) . A key strength of QST is that a particular stimulus may be used to test the functioning of particular aspects of the somatosensory system, thereby potentially suggesting the mechanism.…”
