Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a method through which sensory nerve function is quantitatively measured, based on responses of the subject. The peripheral sensory nervous system responds to specific stimuli of specific modality and intensity in a specific manner, which is well-known through many decades of research into human sensation.

​

QST is a validated, reliable, and sensitive measure for peripheral and central sensory function.

​

 It is non-invasive and mostly not painful for the subject and may be easily conducted by a health professional or researcher.
