Official Title: Evaluation of Psychophysical Responses After Mechanical Stimulation: a Reliability Study
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the test-retest reliability of psychophysical responses to non-injurious sharp stimuli applied via a robotic system. The accurate assessment of acute mechanical pain, such as the pain associated with surgical incisions or non-suicidal self-injury, is challenging due to the subjectivity of pain and the risk of tissue damage with traditional mechanical stimulation methods. To overcome this barrier, researchers have developed a non-injurious sharp blade model that mimics the sensory…
