Abstract

Objective To summarize the domestic and overseas assessment tools of human pain sensitivity, and to provide suggestions for future research. Methods We systematically searched 12 Chinese and English databases with a retrieval period spanning from the inception to January 6, 2024. The tools that met the inclusion criteria were collected. The basic information of the literature (author, country, year) and the basic information of the assessment tools (name, contents, advantages and disadvantages, reliability and validity) were extracted and analyzed. Results A total of 20 articles were included, including 21 pain sensitivity assessment tools, including 5 questionnaires and scale assessment tools. There were 16 experiments and instruments to evaluate pain sensitivity, which could be divided into 6 categories: quantitative sensory test, temperature pain threshold measurement, pressure pain threshold measurement, pinprick stimulators pain threshold measurement, electric pain threshold measurement and laser pain threshold measurement. Conclusion There are various types of tools for assessing pain sensitivity, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Researchers need to select the most suitable assessment tool based on the specific circumstances. Currently, there is a lack of multidimensional pain sensitivity assessment tools. It is recommended to increase the introduction or development of multidimensional assessment tools.
