“Pain Effect on Attention Using an Ipad Game App”
Cognitive performance will be studied over time using an iPad game interface called the nine choice human game (5CH) in normal volunteer subjects before during and after experimentally induced thermal (cold or warm) pain or control (no intervention).

Heat induced pain
For the heat induced thermal pain, the research nurse will train the subject to estimate pain quantitatively using a 2 cm 2 Peltier controlled thermode (TSA®) applied to the skin of the arm. Typically, the subject is exposed to temperatures between 41° and 49° C using a random staircase method. After the volunteer learns to qualitatively estimate the thermal pain, pain will be established by heating the the leg with a 4 cm2 Peltier controlled thermode (TSA®) for 90 seconds with the probe cla ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
Cold Induced Pain
Cold pain will be induced by placing a foot in a container of circulating water maintained at 10°C for 90 seconds (n=20). Half (n=20) of the subjects will have the foot placed in body temperature water of 38°C.
