EEG & Laser-stimulation

During this condition our aim is to objectively and quantitatively measure the pain perception centrally by EEG. The perceived pain induced by a CO2 Laser is comparable to a pin prick

Electrocardiography (ECG)

A possible additional medical examination could contain ECG application

Analog scaling

During trial the participants are asked to fill in visual analogue scales (100mm) to obtain additional subjective data on the perceived pain after the laser sessions

Data Collection

While undergoing the several study conditions we will gather all data highly secured and according to the data protection regulations

"Wash-out" Phase

Between medication periods there is usually a week without medication application to “wash out” the compound from the body.
