The Measurement of Pleasure and Pain
Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2014Pleasure and pain are among our most salient experiences, and we want to know how our pleasures and pains stack up against those of others. Older psychophysical methods fail to provide valid comparisons of pleasure and pain across individuals or groups. We are making progress in measurement, but we still have a ways to go.

Journal of Pediatric Health Care, 2009
Pain is one of the more common complaints of adolescents, but research on adolescent pain lags behind that of pain in adults. Research has increased during the past decade, calling attention to the need for improved measurement of adolescent pain.

The Surgeon, 2004
Sound measurement, an essential component of any scientific discipline, remains a particular problem in pain research. The measurement of pain intensity, for example, is a difficult and often a subjective undertaking. This is of little surprise to clinicians and researchers, because it is well recognised that pain intensity, like other sensations and ...

Journal of Hand Therapy, 2001
Pain is a complex, multi-dimensional experience that is usually associated with local tissue damage or may be referred from a distant site. Classically, pain is viewed as having sensory, affective, and cognitive components. To assess pain, however, the clinician or the researcher must use the most appropriate measure for the given situation.

Dental Traumatology, 1986
Abstract The assessment of human pain is complicated not only because pain, like other sensory experiences, is subjective, but also because pain, unlike other sensory experiences, may be modified by psychological, social, and situational factors. These factors can modify the neuronal response evoked by a relatively constant noxious stimulus (such as an

Reproducibility of pain measurement and pain perception
Pain, 2002The reproducibility of both the conscious experience of pain and the reproducibility of psychophysical assessments of pain remain critical, yet poorly characterized factors in pain research and treatment. To assess the reproducibility of both the pain experience and two methods of pain assessment, 15 subjects evaluated experimental heat pain during ...

Assessment and measurement of pain
European Journal of Cancer Care, 1994This paper provides an overview of issues relating to pain assessment and management. Areas to be covered include the problems involved in assessing pain as a subjective phenomenon, the constraints of assessment within the clinical field, factors that affect pain, and pain assessment tools and questionnaires. The aim of the reference list is to provide

Measurement of pain: Patient preference does not confound pain measurement
Pain, 1981Chronic pain patients reported pain intensity on each of 3 pain intensity scales, the visual analog, numerical and adjectival scales, and then ranked the scales in order of perceived best communication of pain intensity. All patients were able to complete an adjectival scale but 11% were unable to complete a visual analog scale and 2% failed at a ...

Pain, 1982
Two experiments used the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) to examine the affective dimension of pain in patients whose pain was secondary to malignancy. In experiment I, segregating groups of cancer patients on the basis of extreme scores (high versus low) on the MPQ failed to produce segregation on independent measures of affect and infirmity.

Pain measurement and experience
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1983Issues and developments in clinical pain assessment will be considered. The focus will be on measuring pain, rather than degree of relief. Three main response channels may be distinguished: subjective, behavioral and physiological, although the latter will not be elaborated upon here.
