Pain...Know what's real!

In humans, pain is considered the "fifth vital sign" that all health care providers must assess. In humans, the normal method of asking to label their pain from 1-10 is unreliable at best. In animals, especially horses, assessing pain is nearly impossible.

Until now.

Pain and pain relief in dogs, cats, and horses can now be measured objectively using a patented, totally non-invasive way to measure the skin's response to pain. Unlike the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and other monitors, PainTrace™ is inherently safe. No voltage is applied and like an ECG, it measures the potential amongst sensor sites on the skin.

PainTrace™ is also easy to operate and results are even easier to interpret. You will be able to see the effectiveness of the treatment option being used for your dog, cat or horse and if needed, the rate of activation for analgesics or other drugs. Monitoring a horse's condition, for instance, will be made considerably more reliable with decisions to a return a horse to active training more accurate than before using PainTrace™.

If you are in charge of the well-being of horses as an owner, trainer, or veterinarian, you have a tremendous responsibility maintaining the health of the horse and the safety of the rider. PainTrace™ may be the best investment you can make in both.
