Stroke survivors exhibit reduced cold pain tolerance compared to individuals without a stroke history. This finding holds true for both those with and without chronic pain, suggesting altered pain processing post-stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Stroke can impact the brain's pain processing network.
  • Understanding pain modulation after stroke is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare cold pain tolerance in stroke survivors versus stroke-free individuals.
  • To investigate pain tolerance in stroke survivors with and without chronic pain.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Tromsø Study (6th and 7th waves).
  • Employed the cold pressor test (CPT) to assess pain tolerance.
  • Analyzed data using Cox regression, adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors.

Main Results:

  • 21,837 participants included; 311 had a history of stroke.

  • Stroke survivors showed a 28% increased hazard of hand withdrawal during CPT (HR 1.28).
  • This association was consistent across participants with and without chronic pain.

    • Conclusions:

    • Stroke survivors have diminished cold pain tolerance.
    • This reduced tolerance is evident regardless of chronic pain status.
    • Healthcare professionals should be more aware of pain in stroke patients.
