摘要: Thermal threshold testing is commonly used for pain research. The stimulus may cause burning and merits prevention. probe modifications hypothesized to reduce were evaluated practicality effect. Studies conducted on two humans eight cats. Unmodified 0 was tested promising also Probe 1 incorporated rapid cooling after reached: 1a a Peltier system 1b water cooling. 2 released skin contact immediately threshold. 3 (developed in the light of evidence ‘hot spots’ 0) reduced thermal mass even heating across area. Human heated 48℃ (6℃ above threshold) resulting burn using area injury simple descriptive scale (SDS). cooled but required further heat dissipation, excessive power, not ‘fail-safe’ inappropriate animal mounting. caused le...
