5. <strong>QST</strong> in patients with tendinopathy<br />
4.2. Perspectives<br />
The pathophysiology of pain in chronic tendinopathy is largely unknown. We<br />
hypothesised that somatosensory changes may contribute to the pain in tendinopathies.<br />
From this explorative study we conclude that sensitisation may play a role in the<br />
explanation of pain during and after sports activity in patella tendinopathy patients.<br />
The diagnosis sensitisation may have consequences for the treatment and medical<br />
management of tendinopathies. Further studies however exploring the involvement of<br />
sensitisation in tendinopathy are warranted.
