Effects of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain on Fertility Potential in Lean and Overweight Male Patients
Table 2
Pressure pain threshold values in overweight pain patient (OP), overweight control patient (OC), lean pain patient (LP), and lean control patient (LC) in 16 different test points in the body. Provided values are mean ± standard deviation. Multivariate two-way analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to compare differences in each parameter in pressure pain thresholds.
