Abstract

Animal pain tests have been developed primarily for the screening of potential analgesic drugs. In this context, the most important characteristic of a test is that it correctly identify compounds that are analgesic in pathological pain in humans and correctly eliminate compounds without this activity (Taber, 1974 206; Frazer and Harris, 1967 92; Jacob, 1966 128). By this standard, the tail-flick test of D’Amour and Smith (1941) 56 is very accurate in detecting morphine-like drugs, though it is less successful with nalorphine-like drugs and very insensitive to aspirin-like drugs. Other tests have different profiles of sensitivity, and although there seems to be no ideal single laboratory test procedure for the evaluation of analgesics, a combination of several tests has considerable power to identify analgesics (Wood, 1984 237).
