Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to examine the impact of a virtual reality paradigm on heat pain perception in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is to determine if the virtual reality paradigm reduces pain intensity and unpleasantness evoked by tonic heat pain stimulation. Tonic heat pain stimulation is applied on the left forearm of participants using a Peltier thermode immediately before, during and immediately after virtual reality exposure. Using a with-subject design, participants are sequentially exposed to both the virtual reality condition and an active control condition. The order of administration of the virtual reality and control conditions is randomized.
