An instrument used to measure pain intensity or sensitivity; a device that quantifies someone's pain response to controlled stimuli.
From Latin dolor (pain) + -meter (measuring device); developed in 20th-century medical and psychological research for pain assessment.
Scientists use dolorimeters to objectively measure pain by testing when people first feel heat, pressure, or electric shock—creating surprising data about pain differences between people.
