Studies looking at thermal stimuli in horses showed that some animals responded with a skin twitch, although others did not and that this was not necessarily related to their breed61. In cats, pain scoring is shown to be affected by demeanour. Shy and fearful individuals may present with high...
Behavioral methods are extensively used in pain research. Rodent modeling tends to rely on evoked responses but there is a growing interest in behavioral readouts that may capture elements of ongoing pain and disability, reflecting the major clinical sig
This study aimed to explore the performances of Facial Action Units (FAUs) to detect pain in cows under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge though a six-step process based on expression, selectivity (construct validity, responsiveness), intra- and inter-observer reliability, and measurement error (spe...
More recently this technique has been developed for use in a number of non-human species: rodents, rabbits, ferrets, cats, sheep, pigs and horses. Facial expression scoring has been demonstrated to provide an effective means of identifying animal pain and in assessing its severity, overcoming ...
Limitations The main limitations of this study are the small rabbit sample size and the subjective nature of pain scoring in animals. Conclusions Analgesic intervention should be considered in rabbits with a pain score equal to or greater than 5 on the BRPS....
In addition, the dendrogram (top of the figure) represents the hierarchical grouping, showing the distances between the scoring profiles for each observed variable. In the intergroup evaluation, there were no differences in the facial expressions. However, the CT was higher in the IG group 24 ...
