[Nociceptive reactions in man. An electrophysiological and pharmacological study (author's transl)].
The demonstration of a close relationship between the threshold of nociceptive flexion reflexes and that of the painful sensation resulting from stimulation of the sural nerve or of the corresponding skin territory has made it possible to devise a method for objective measurement of pain in man. The method can be of interest to locate with accuracy the site of action of certain drugs and to determine the intensity of their analgesic effect. The results obtained with non-narcotic analgesics are presented.
