Popis: INTRODUCTION Patients with haemophilia (PwH) may experience increased sensitivity to pain. Based on the assessment of the somatosensory system, a recent study showed a specific pain profile in PwH when compared to controls by using Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST). AIM This study aimed to evaluate the pain profile of affected joints (knee or ankle joints) and a non-affected site (dominant hand) in adult PwH over a 1-year period. METHODS Twenty-four PwH (severe haemophilia A = 19, B = 3; moderate haemophilia A = 1, B = 1; age: 52±8 years) and 21 healthy controls (age: 52±12 years) were examined by QST. Both knee or ankle joints and the hand as reference were examined twice with an interval of 1 year in order to assess several detection (DT) and pain thresholds (PT). RESULTS Statistically significant altered mechanical (P
