Electrical stimulation of human tooth pulp provides a means of safely producing human pain in the laboratory. This paper describes a dolorimetry and data collection system for stimulating volunteers, recording responses and analyzing data. The system allows multilevel stimulation in pseudorandom sequences and analysis of results using the methods of Sensory Decision Theory. It consists of modified commercial equipment, specially designed circuitry, an interface, and a programmable calculator. Fundamental problems and safety considerations for electrical dental stimulation are reviewed. Reliability of stimulation and response measurement is discussed.
对人类牙髓进行电刺激为在实验室中安全诱发人体疼痛提供了一种方法。本文描述了一种用于刺激志愿者、记录反应并分析数据的痛觉测量与数据收集系统。该系统允许以伪随机序列进行多级刺激，并使用感觉决策理论方法对结果进行分析。它由改良的商用设备、专门设计的电路、一个接口和一台可编程计算器组成。本文回顾了牙科电刺激的基本问题和安全注意事项。还讨论了刺激和反应测量的可靠性。
