研究概览
简要总结
Participants will rate how much pain they experience during several brief thermal stimulations at painful but tolerable temperatures participants pre-approve. During some of the stimuli participants will be in virtual reality, and during some stimuli participants will not be in VR. Sometimes participants will receive two brief stimuli at the same time.
详细描述
During VR, participants will put their cyberhand into a bowl of animated water and will place virtual objects in the bowl and stir the virtual water. Participants will also receive several brief thermal heat stimulations at a temperature of their choice (sometimes one stimulus, sometimes two simultaneous stimuli). During some of the stimuli participants will be in virtual reality, and some stimuli will not be in VR.

研究组 & 干预措施
One thermal stimulus
participants receives a single brief thermal stimulus
干预措施: One brief pain stimulus (Behavioral)
two thermal stimuli
participant receives two brief thermal stimuli at the same time
干预措施: Two simultaneous brief thermal stimuli (Behavioral)
immersive virtual reality
participant receives a brief thermal stimulus while in virtual reality
干预措施: Virtual Reality distraction (Behavioral)
No VR
brief thermal stimulus during no VR
干预措施: No Virtual Reality (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
worst pain during one stimulus vs during two simultaneous stimuli
时间窗: measured immediately after each pain stimulus
graphic rating scale of worst pain intensity measured after one brief thermal pain stimuli, minimum = 0, maximum = 10, and measured again after two simultaenous thermal pain stimuli. In both cases, higher scores mean worse outcome
次要结局
- worst pain during No VR vs worst pain during Virtual Reality(measured immediately after each pain stimulus)
