 BPHC - Monofilament Testing in HD
BPHC - Monofilament Testing in HD Monofilament testing is applicable in Hansen’s disease for objective screening or mapping of patients with complications of early stage peripheral nerve involvement allowing consideration of treatment intervention, or at a later stage, allowing recognition of patients with "loss of protective sensation" in order to minimize disability progression.
The monofilament selected was the one in stimulus testing that most closely approached what was intended by the WHO as a light touch of a ballpoint pen (while widely variable in application, averaged approximately 4 grams).
Field Filaments using the same monofilament testing protocol for study of peripheral nerve involvement and disability, was developed for testing of patients in other countries.
