Hypoesthesia: Decreased sensitivity to stimulation, excluding the special senses. For example, reduced perception or numbness when touching or stroking the skin with a cotton swab. Spontaneous/evoked abnormal sensation. Paresthesia: An abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or evoked but not unpleasant.
Hypoesthesia —diminished sensation. •. Hyperesthesia—heightened sensation. •. Anesthesia—the complete lack of sensation in a particular dermatome, peripheral nerve distribution, or region. The prefix an means “none.”. •. Paresthesia—abnormal sensation, often described as pins and needles. The prefix para means “aside” or ...
Dysesthesia can have variable presentation, and includes sensations of burning, tingling, stinging, tickling, crawling, anesthesia, hypoesthesia, and varying types of pain. 1 Because generalized dysesthesia is a vague symptom descriptor occurring from numerous etiologies, it is useful to also identify additional clinical features occurring in ...
Hypoesthesia: Decreased sensitivity to stimulation. Nociception : Response to an unpleasant (noxious) stimulus that produces pain in human subjects under normal circumstances. Pain : An unpleasant perception associated with actual or potential cellular damage.
Paresthesia. Paresthesia, a feeling of numbness or “pins and needles” in various portions of the body, occurs in several situations. If it accompanies a rapid respiratory rate, paresthesia of the perioral region, fingertips, and toes is diagnostic of hyperventilation. Patients with TIAs exhibit unilateral paresthesia or muscle weakness ...
Paresthesia is a phenomenon whereby mechanical stimulation of a nerve results in a sensory feeling described as “an electric shock” in the sensory distribution of the nerve being contacted. Moore [5] stated “no paresthesias—no anesthesia,” which is still part of the controversy regarding the use of nerve stimulation.
Paresthesia includes pain of the gingiva, cheek, and alveolar bone; a numb feeling, itchy feeling; burning sensation; paraphia; sensory sensitivity; foreign-body sensation; sense of discomfort; and “abnormal sense of occlusion.”. It is obviously and by necessity defined in a broad sense using broad terms.

The purpose of this paper is to 1) provide an overview of the existing literature investigating the effect of exercise training on the magnitude of exercise-induced hypoalgesia, and 2) discuss potential underlying mechanisms as well as considerations for future research. Given the paucity of randomized controlled trials in this area, the ...
However, this condition describes the sensory loss in the perianal region (saddle) that results from lesions involving the S1 and S2 segments of the spinal cord. It may be accompanied by sensory loss in the medial aspects of the calf and posterior thigh. Symmetric saddle anesthesia may result from lesions in the conus medullaris.
