The measurement of cutaneous pain threshold using the Neuromod Selectra Model 7750 Transcutaneous Neuronal Electrical Stimulator is described. Pain threshold, measured in 520 healthy volunteers aged 5-105 years, increased with age. Consistent values were obtained in 22 healthy volunteers on three successive days. Pain threshold may be rapidly measured by this method which is potentially of value in the assessment of patients with neurological deficits.
描述了使用Neuromod Selectra 7750型经皮神经电刺激器测量皮肤痛阈的方法。在520名年龄在5至105岁的健康志愿者中测量的痛阈随年龄增长而升高。在22名健康志愿者中连续三天获得了一致的值。通过这种方法可以快速测量痛阈,这在评估神经功能缺损患者时可能具有价值。
