It obviously depends on the allodynia model, but here’s very common examples with rates from 1g/s to 2g/s:
- 1g/s https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-45677-z
- 2g/s https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2021.667511/full
As stated above, it all depends if we are dealing with inflammatory, surgical, neuropathic allodynia.
In general a good rule of thumb is to apply a force and a rate such that the baseline response is about 5-10 seconds. In this way the allodynic response will be short and the short duration of this test is important to maximize its accuracy.
