Decoding Mechanisms of Pain Modulation

Authors
Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2022
The main objective of this experimental trial is to gain further insights into the mechanisms of pain modulation, and more specifically, whether expectations of coping is one of the involved mechanisms. This will be investigated by comparing two different interventions known to influence pain perception; hypnosis and non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve, prior to a pain exposure task (hand immersion in cold water). Expectations will be assessed both pre- and post intervention.
