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.
