  • Title: A simple method for assessing analgesic requirements and efficacy in rodents.
    Author: Wheat NJ, Cooper DM.
    Journal: Lab Anim (NY); 2009 Jul; 38(7):246-7. PubMed ID: 19543263.
    Abstract:
    Evaluation of pain in the clinical setting is an ongoing challenge for veterinarians, researchers and IACUCs. Behavioral assessment, a common technique for evaluating pain, is subjective and difficult to translate into quantifiable data. The authors propose measuring changes in body weight, food consumption and water consumption as a simple and objective method for evaluating postsurgical pain and analgesic efficacy in rodents.
