Pain -- Upper Extremities
Pain is one of the principle sensory modalities of the spinothalamic system. The sharp end of a broken wooden cotton tip applicator can be used then discarded. It is important for the patient to be able to identify the sensation as sharp and then compare between dermatomes, distal versus proximal and right versus left for the upper extremities.
