We use a simple pneumatic device that delivers a puff of air to a finger. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3408548/ Pretty low tech, but quite robust.

What methods and tools are currently used/available (e.g. optic laser stimulation)? I have seen Tm:YAG laser stimulation mentioned multiple times in literature, however the devices available for this method are extremely limited, if not discontinued. Thanks for your time and insights!
