appeared to be preferable to retrospective estimation of pain relkf. In this category of investigation graded scoring systems afforded marginally greater sensitivity than the quantal approach. The observer's impression, although recorded before the patient was interrogated, gave results very similar to those of the introspective procedures, but improvement in v.c. and p.e.f s. following treatme...
