Pain threshold and tactile sensitivity in the foreign students by own research data as well as spine functioning assessment in theoretical and applied aspects by literary data

Abstract

The article is devoted to own results on pain threshold and tactile sensitivity assessment in the foreign students as well as literary data on spine physiology and pathology. Pain threshold was the lowest in the Iranians, then follow the students from Sudan, the Moroccans, the students from Iraq, the Egyptians. Independently on the country left-handers possessed less pain threshold than the right-handers did and this difference was valuable in the biggest extent in the Iranians. Also the left-handers had less pain threshold on their face left halves while the dexters – on the right ones. This difference was maximally valuable in the students from Iraq. We assessed tactile sensitivity in the Indian students from India various areas. The students from the country east performed the probe “acute-dull” with the difficulties, much better with their left hands while the students from the west performed also with difficulties, only a bit, insignificantly, better with their left hands. The Indian medical 2nd-year students from the country north in 50% of probes “acute-dull” analyzed the stimulus character correctly while touching to their right hands and 0% to their left hands.
