Definitions
noun
The measurement of sensitivity to pain.
A study of this effect of drugs needed the evolution of a reliable and reproducible method of algesimetry, and the pressure method eventually chosen was evaluated in over 1,000 subjects in order to determine the patient and operator variation,
In attempts to quantify pain (algesimetry), most experimental observations have been made on acute pain elicited from easily accessible, mostly cutaneous, structures.
The study of responses to painful stimuli.
The dilemma of experimental algesimetry can be characterized as follows. The more reproducible and quantifiable a method of experimental pain induction is, the more inadequate it appears as a model of clinical pain.
Experimental algesimetry is a rapidly expanding field of research, which can be expected to provide fundamental information about the nature of pain.
