Central case of torture: thumb screws or the rack
Obviously within spitting distance of the central case: Forcing someone to press their hand down on broken glass
Still pretty obviously in the neighborhood: Forcing someone who reacts to styrofoam like it's broken glass to touch styrofoam.
By "react" do you mean that it feels to them like broken glass would, or simply that he reacts that way?
I don't think either of us is going to say anything the other finds interesting at this point.
