Pressure needed to evoke the same subjective levels of pain in FM patients and controls. A total number of 15 thumb-pressures were given in order to calculate the pressure that would represent a pain intensity of 50 mm VAS (0–100). A two-samples t-test confirmed that patients required significantly less pressure (kPa) than controls in order to reach VAS 50 mm; p < .001, two-tailed.
