grad school - we did a lot of pain research - experimentally induced pain to 
test various non drug pain control methods here's some of the methods we used 
in various studies:

holding one's hand in icewater (0 degrees C) for about 2 minutes - very intense 
and very similar to clinical pain.

using a pressure cuff with a special fitting then inflating it - very intense.

having the subject place their hand on an extremely hot brass plate (set to 
around 160 degrees F).

laser stimulation of dental pulp - simply undescribably intense.

it was a rule that before we administered these to the subjects we tried it on 
ourselves. Needless to say I don't want to do that stuff again.
