Abstract:Reliable objective pain assessment is necessary to provide adequate pain relief treatments, especially in case of non-communicative patients. In this sense we address the use of electromyography (EMG) in the context of experimental pain induction. Thus, we aimed to analyze whether thermal painful stimulation can elicit stable electromyographic responses among several random stimulations for the Corrugator, Zygomaticus and Upper Trapezius muscles. Bipolar differential surface EMG were acquired with a sampling r… Show more
