简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different technologies, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality with modifications as passive content, active content, cognitive load modulation, and positive encouragement coaching to increase the pain threshold as assessed by immersing a hand in ice water.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ice bath Control then VR/AR
Participants will be randomized with a 1:1 allocation to use their dominant or non-dominant hand with VR or control (no VR) for the cold pressor test and then crossed over. Participants will not be told of the specifics of the time limit, to avoid competitiveness and expectations and will be asked for pain scores every 30 seconds.
干预措施: VR/AR (Device)

结局指标
主要结局
VR Effect on Pain Tolerence
时间窗: Duration of ice bath (approximately 0 - 4 minutes)
Given that the cold pressor test produces an uncomfortable experience, we considered longer duration within the ice bath to represent increased pain tolerance. Measured in seconds (s).
次要结局
- VR's Effect on Perceived Pain Intensity(Duration of ice bath (approximately 0 - 4 minutes))
- Skin Conductance Response Density (SCRD)(Duration of ice bath (approximately 0 - 4 minutes))
