Reliability and Validity of Modified Algometer in Abdominal Examination

Table 2

Comparison of VAS for overall dyspepsia and PPT values at CV 14 by algometer and MA between 2 groups.

	SH (n = 23)	SHK (n = 13)	P value
VAS	44.91 15.94	46.31 11.51	0.784
PPT
Algometer (kg/cm^2)	2.12 0.49	1.72 0.23	0.003
MA (mmHg)	356.15 68.11	302.77 58.14	0.019

Analyzed by two-sample t-test. All data are presented by mean SD. P value < 0.05 is considered as statistically significant. P < 0.01; P < 0.05. SH: Simhabi; SHK: Simhabikyung; VAS: visual analog scale; PPT: pressure pain threshold; MA: modified algometer.
