kiputuntoraja

English translation: Pain treshold

12:36 Jan 15, 2016
Finnish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
Finnish term or phrase: kiputuntoraja
So the context is:

Kiputuntorajan mittaus alaspäin rajoitetaan dermatomitasolle S2

And my tentative translation is:


The measurement of the sensory threshold for pain will be restricted downwards to dermatome S2

But I think I am missing something here

Can anyone help?

thanks

Asker: so is my translation right do you think? S


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tarja Karjalainen: I think it could even be simplified to something like "Assessment of pain threshold will be limited to dermatome S2" or similar.

agree  Desmond O'Rourke: threshold (spelling)
2 hrs
agree  Anne Maria Ylisaari: I would use the term "pain threshold" as nociceptive pain is one type of pain.
