Thermal threshold and thermal pain threshold determinations are part of quantitative sensory tests. Usually the average of many repeated trials is defined as the threshold. The inter-trial interval (ITI) may have an effect on the later trials. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of ITI on the test results. ⋯ The results showed that while ITI and the modality order did not have significant effects on the test results, the trial order did have effects on the results of all modalities.
