简要总结

The effects of pain on cognitive performance have not been thoroughly investigated. Broadly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of acute pain on performance of a variety of cognitive performance measures. The investigators hypothesize that acute pain impairs cognitive performance, particularly cognitive measures of working memory, attention, and processing speed.

研究组 & 干预措施

Pain Stimulus

Experimental

Capsaicin combined with heat applied to intact skin

干预措施: pain delivery with capsaicin and heat (Procedure)

Distractor Somatosensory Stimulus

Active Comparator

Sensory transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied to intact skin

干预措施: distractor delivery with sensory TENS (Procedure)

No Stimulus

No Intervention

Nothing applied to skin
