Abstract
Measurements of the pain threshold of 15 college women were made, using electric current supplied by an electronic device. The "method of minimal charges" was used on skin areas of forearm and forehead. Expts. were repeated on the 2d day. Some individuals varied from one day to the next and from one skin area to another, while others were relatively stable.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
