The present invention relates to a device (1) for measuring a pressure force. The device (1) comprises a hand-held body (10) made of an elastic material (8) and a sensor unit (11). The sensor unit (11) is at least partly enclosed by the hand-held body (10) such that a force (F) applied by a person (12) onto the hand-held body (10) is transmitted via the elastic material (8) of the hand-held body (10) to the sensor unit (11). The sensor unit (11) is configured for measuring a pressure force (Fp) which is transmitted to the sensor unit (11) and which is caused by the force (F) applied onto the hand-held body (10) by the person (12). Moreover, the sensor unit (11) is configured for generating data corresponding to the measured pressure force (Fp). The invention further relates to a system (2) for determining a sensation experienced by a person (12), the use of a device (1) for evaluating a current pain sensation perceived by a person (12) and a method for determining a sensation experienced by a person (12).
