Abstract: A predictive method that aims at matching a specific pain medication, particularly of the SNRI type, to a specific patient is disclosed. In accordance with the predictive method, DNIC pain modulation is first performed on the patient who is about to receive a pain medication treatment. The results of the test are then taken as is or optionally transformed to construct a value. By analyzing this value, a specific pain medication can be matched to the aforementioned patient.

Abstract: Apparatus for measuring threshold sensitivity to a stimulus is disclosed. The apparatus includes sensory stimulation application apparatus for providing stimulus to a subject, computer apparatus for governing operation of the sensory stimulation application apparatus and operator interface apparatus for interfacing between an operator and the computer apparatus. The computer apparatus and the operator interface apparatus include apparatus for enabling an operator to selectably apply sensory stimulation to a patient minimally in accordance with any of the following protocols; method of limits, forced choice method; and staircase method. Other protocols which can be selected are Thermal Sensitivity Limen method and method of suprathreshold.
