Behavior Research Methods, 2014
Pain thresholds are widely used in behavioral research, but unlike other pain modalities, a standardized assessment of pressure pain remains a challenge. In this research, we describe the application of an automatic pressure algometer with a linear increase in force. Ergonomically designed fixation devices were developed to increase the accuracy and to

Pain control and mechanisms for the measurement of pain
Journal of Psychopharmacology, 1991Three different aspects of pain measurement have been selected for review in this paper. In the first section important scales for the measurement of subjective pain are evaluated and some of the main shortcomings outlined. Then follows a discussion of how perceptions of pain control can be assessed using available scales.
