Measurement of the pressure pain threshold and suprathreshold pressure pain sensitivity using a newly developed computer controlled algometer was compared to established methods in this pilot study. ⋯ For clinical use, the algometers investigated deliver comparable results. For studies requiring high precision with low levels of stimulation the use of the Algoforce PA3 could be considered.
