For preclinical animal research

Developed by Yamen Abbas

Method and research use

The default sequence follows Chaplan’s rat method. The app estimates the 50% withdrawal threshold for each paw. Match its reference forces to your calibrated filaments and approved protocol.

Paw withdrawal is a behavioral measure of mechanical sensitivity, not a direct measure of pain. Von Frey is for preclinical animal research, not human diagnosis or treatment.
