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.

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 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.

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.

Measuring pain: issues of interpretation
The Lancet, 2008Alan Krueger and Arthur Stone report that pain prevalence is associated with socioeconomic status, but is inconsistently related to age and sex. Furthermore, pain prevalence in the USA was about 10 points lower than that reported in Finland. These differences might stem from the fact that self-reports of pain are not fully comparable across individuals

The Measurement of Clinical Pain
Nursing Research, 1984Major problems in the measurement of clinical pain are created because of (1) its subjective nature, (2) a limited number of reliable and valid instruments that measure the experience, and (3) a multitude of clinical issues such as type of pain, cause, and patient sample characteristics. Instruments currently available measure intensity, behavioral and/

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

Abstract Though self-report has historically been considered the “gold-standard” measure of pain, behavioral observations are an important source of information and can address a number of limitations of self-report. In this chapter, we will review the current state of evidence on behavioral measures of pain in children and adolescents ...

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.
