The rules of judo provide for strangulation techniques in which the blood supply to the brain is blocked by pressure on the carotid arteries; such techniques produce anoxia and possible unconsciousness if the victim fails to submit. A case is presented of a patient with signs of anoxic brain damage, with psychometric investigation showing memory disturbance consistent with a left temporal lobe lesion. This patient had been frequently strangled during his career as a judo player; it is suggested that such frequent strangulation was the cause of the damage. Such an observation indicates the need for caution in the use of such techniques.

The Pain Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ) was administered to 58 health care professionals with a concurrent validation measure, the Knowledge of Behavioral Principles Questionnaire. The PAQ showed adequate internal consistency, concurrent and criterion group validities. Attempts to develop two parallel forms of the PAQ and replicate the factor structure reported by Saunders & Webster (1982) were unsuccessful.
