Wetness sensing and modulation with changes in mean skin
temperature (Tsk) from twelve MS participants and 11 healthy controls. Participants reported on visual analogue scales local wetness
perceptions arising from the static and dynamic application of a cold-,
neutral-, and warm-wet probe (1.32cm2; water content: 0.8ml), to the
index-finger pad, forearm, and forehead. Three trials were completed, during which they performed a quantitative sensory test with
either a thermo-neutral (30.9°C), warm (34.8°C), and cold (26.5°C) mean Tsk.
