Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Decrease of cererbal oxygen saturation atfer pain stimulus (each stimulus (UPS, EPS, NPS or PS) was set at ‘0s’, pre-base 1: prior to UPS at ‘-300 to 0s’, pre-base 2 prior EPS, NPS or PS at ‘-180 to -30s’. Warning was given verbally 30s before the stimuli (‘-30 to 0s’). After each stimulus the observational period was divided into different time intervals of about 30s. Post-base ‘150 to 300s’.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pain intensity on NRS (numerical rating scale; 0 = no pain, 10 = most intense pain imaginable) after expected and an unexpected painful electrical stimuli
