Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: The aim of this study is to determine the threshold levels of pressure pain in individuals with chronic pain and to investigate the correlation between the different variables. Materials and methods: The research sample consisted of 60 adult patients who were attending the algology outpatients' clinic, and who had complaints of chronic pain with a duration of at least six months relating to the musculoskeletal system. Before measuring the patients' pressure pain thresholds, they were asked to mark their severity of pain, taking into account their general pain when in motion. Later, an algometer was used to take measurements of the pressure pain threshold in the mid deltoid, mid ulna, hypothenar eminence, mid tibia, and quadriceps femoris regions. Results: Results of statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the mean regional pressure pain thresholds of patients according to illness group (P > 0.05), but did show a significant difference between the mean regional pressure pain thresholds of male and female patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded in this study that there was no difference between groups of patients with complaints of chronic pain relating to different musculoskeletal diseases and regional pressure pain threshold levels, that the factor of gender affected the regional pressure pain threshold level.
