Abstract
Summary
Using the thermal radiation method measurements on 7 subjects, the highest pain threshold values (390mc/sec/cm2) were obtained on the heel of the foot. The lowest values of pain threshold (166-170 mc/sec/cm2) were found on the lower back regions, buttocks, and thighs. Pain thresholds on all other body areas were approximately the same as that on the forehead.
