NCT05699317 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2023-03-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective interventional study aims at recording contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) and cold evoked potentials (CEPs) in a healthy population sample in an aim to derive normative values which could be used to evaluate evoked potentials (EPs) of patients.

Conditions

  • Establishing Normative Values of Cold and Contact Heat-evoked Potentials

Interventions

OTHER

Thermal stimuli

Thermal stimuli will be delivered delivered using a contact thermal stimulator (TCS model II.1, QST.Lab, Strasbourg, France). Target temperatures will be set to reach 10°C (CEP) and 60°C (CHEP) at a rate of 300°C/s. Stimulus duration will be set 200 ms. The stimulator will be manually held against the skin by the experimenter and slightly displaced within the first 10 cm of the distal extremity of the volar forearm being investigated, marked on the skin of the participant, after each stimulus. A total of 30 stimuli per temperature and testing site will be applied.
