In behavior methods to quantify neuropathic pain, visual observations of limb-withdrawal reflexes to stimuli are not always clear-cut, so this method is partly subjective. Our current data suggest that measurement of electrophysiological EMG magnitudes enables more reliable and objective assessment for quantifying nocifensive behaviors related to neuropathic pain.
在量化神经性疼痛的行为方法中,对刺激的肢体退缩反射的视觉观察并不总是清晰明确的,因此这种方法在一定程度上具有主观性。我们目前的数据表明,测量电生理 EMG 幅度可更可靠、更客观地评估与神经性疼痛相关的伤害性行为。
