Orofacial Stimulation Test Fehrenbacher, Henry, Hargreaves method

  • Orofacial Stimulation Test Fehrenbacher, Henry, Hargreaves method
  • The Orofacial Stimulation Test by Ugo Basile is a new method to measures hypersensitivity to thermal or mechanical stimulation of the trigeminal area in rats; animals are trained & tested in standard home cages.

    Rats voluntarily contact a thermal or a mechanical stimulator with their vibrissal pad in order to access a food reward. No shaving is required, thus making the test not invasive at all.

    This innovative approach permits the parallel measurement of highly integrated nociceptive responses to thermal or mechanical stimulation.
