[Nociception and mental functions after combined neuroleptanalgesia].

In a group of 25 patients divided at random into subgroups anaesthetized by neuroleptoanalgesia or ataralgesia resp. on account of arthroscopy, the authors assessed the state of mental functions--perception, memory before, and after operation, emotional make-up, affectivity, cognitive functions and some personality parameters. By means of an algometer and the cuff of a manometer they assessed the threshold of pressure and ischemic pressure pain.
