The pain glove is a sort of torture device, inflicting waves of pain upon whoever wears it. Despite its name it's not a glove, but rather a electrofibre tunic on a vertical steel frame.

Certain Space Marines Chapters use the device to punish miscreants in their ranks. Space Marines are well used to pain, and the goal is for the marine to manage to see past the sensation to gain insight or even create a mental link to their chapter's Primarch.

The Imperial Fists are reputed for extensive use of the device, even though their dicipline is legendary. One possible theory is that their use of the device is linked to their tendencies toward self-inflicted pain, and/or inspired by their primarch Rogal Dorns use of the device in his meditations.
