GENERAL
The new P.A.M. (Pressure Application Measurement)
device from Ugo Basile is a novel, easy-to-use tool for
measuring mechanical pain threshold in experimental
joint hypersensitivity models in rodents.
The PAM device has been designed and validated
specifically for the mechanical stimulation and
assessment of joint pain, and therefore is especially
useful in studying arthritis. The PAM device applies a
quantifiable force for direct stimulation of the joint
and for automatic readout of the response.
The operator simply wears a special force sensor on
his or her thumb and measures the force which elicits
the animal response (normally, limb withdrawal).
Each PAM device comes standard with two force
sensors, which have been specially designed to apply
force to rat and mouse joints. The area stimulated
using the small sensor is useful for mice. The large
sensor is useful for stimulating either mice or rat
joints .
