The PainCart®

The PainCart® is CHDR's comprehensive, fully mobile battery of tests that is used to study the efficacy of analgesic compounds against several types of pain, including thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical pain. PainCart has been thoroughly validated in studies that focussed on characterising a wide range of well-known analgesics, including ketamine, fentanyl, ibuprofen, paracetamol, buprenorphine and paracetamol. We maintain a database of these compounds' PainCart profiles to compare the effects of new substances. PainCart can also support preclinical hypotheses regarding the compound’s putative mechanism of action and clinical efficacy.
