Abstract:

The utility was estimated of the flinch-jump procedure as a screening technique for analgestic drugs. The order of analgetic effectiveness of the opiates indicated by the flinch-jump procedure compared well with the relationships found by other investigators for human pain relief. It is concluded that the procedure is useful as a screening method.
