The overall goal of this testing protocol is to use quantitative sensory testing to obtain measures of pain processing in surgical patients. Many patients develop persistent pain after surgical procedures. That may be related to changes in pain pr

Persistent postsurgical pain may be related to changes in pain processing. By assessing pain in response to standardized stimuli, changes in pain processing can be elucidated. We present methods to obtain pain thresholds to different stimuli and a measure of endogenous analgesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
