    A novel pain sensitivity tool using a disposable hypodermic needle offers improved comfort and more accurate measurement of muscular force for pain stimuli assessment. This method surpasses traditional pins and needles for evaluating superficial cutaneous pain sensation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Context:

    • Assessing superficial cutaneous sensation to pain is crucial in neurological examinations.
    • Existing tools like pins and needles can be uncomfortable and lack precision in force measurement.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel tool for pain sensitivity determination.
    • To compare the efficacy and user-friendliness of this new tool against conventional instruments.

    Summary:

    • A disposable hypodermic needle, inserted into its cover at a right angle, serves as an effective tool for pain sensitivity testing.
    • This method provides greater examiner comfort and allows for more precise measurement of applied muscular force during stimuli application.
    • It demonstrates superiority over traditional pins and sharp instruments for superficial pain sensation evaluation.
