结局指标
主要结局
Heat Pain Threshold
时间窗: through study completion, typically 2 weeks
Participants will undergo heat pain threshold. A thermode will be applied to the low back with temperature increasing at 1 degree Celsius per second. Participants will report when the sensation changes from heat to pain and the temperature recorded.
Temporal Summation
时间窗: through study completion, typically 2 weeks
Participants will apply thermode to the bottom of the foot and rate their pain in response to 10 heat pulses peaking at 49 degrees Celsius.
次要结局
- Pain Catastrophizing Scale(through study completion, typically 2 weeks)
