<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pain measuring device capable of accurately and securely measuring the size of transient pain and reducing the burden on a subject in measuring pain. <P>SOLUTION: This pain measuring device 1 comprises a device body 2 with a controller 5 and an electric stimulation signal output part 7, or the like, an electrode 3, and a remote switch 4. The controller 5 executes a process of control so that pulse currents increasing in the elapse of time are applied by the electrode 3, a process of recognizing the value of the pulse currents as the minimum sensed current value when a first signal is received, a process of control so that the pulse currents applied by the electrode 3 are gradually increased from a prescribed initial value by nX ((n) is a positive rational number) when the minimum sensed current value is X, and a process of recognizing the current value of the pulse currents as a pain corresponding current value when a second signal is received. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
