Determination of acute nociceptive thermal threshold in laboratory animals, has primarily relied upon the tail flick and hot plate methods. Although both methods are used frequently in pharmacological studies, they are not without limitation.
The Plantar Test represents a remarkable advance in methodology, as it combines the best feature of all other methods of measuring thermal pain sensitivity. Unique to the Plantar Test, the animal is unrestrained and unhandled during experiments.
In addition, unilateral/contralateral experimental designs are possible by the single stimulation of individual paw (injured or not)
