Janet's test (medicine)


Janet's test


A test for functional or organic anaesthesia; the patient (with eyes closed) is told to say "yes" or "no" when he feels or does not feel the touch of the examiner's finger; in the case of functional anaesthesia he may say "no" when an anaesthetic area is touched, but will say nothing, being unaware that he is touched, in cases of organic anaesthesia.
