On the Ascent of Sap

pain in humans, and it has indicated that the sensory aspects of pain have been overemphasized in the past. Our study suggests that SDT is a very useful and versatile tool for the evaluation of analgesic agents. The improved precision in measurement, and the increased information yielded by these methods, will permit investigators to evaluate human pain in the laboratory with more confidence than threshold methodology has warranted.
