dol

dol
   a unit proposed for the measurement of pain. James Hardy, Herbert Wolff, and Helen Goodell, all of Cornell University, proposed the unit based on their studies of pain during the 1940s and 1950s; they defined one dol to equal 2 "just noticeable differences" (jnd's) in pain. However, the unit did not come into widespread use and other methods are now used to assess the level of pain experienced by patients. The name of the unit is from the Latin word for pain, dolor.
