This study looks at how the skin senses itch and pain by applying a small amount of chili cream (capsaicin) to different spots. It may help doctors better understand pain and itch conditions in the future.
This study looks at how beliefs, mood, and social factors affect how people express and judge pain. It mainly uses pain/heat testing and—if chosen—brain scans to understand why pain reports can differ between people.
This study tests how people sense heat and pain, and how the brain and emotions may influence that experience. It is designed for healthy adults and may involve training sessions and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how your brain responds to different feelings, including mild heat pain. It may help researchers learn more about pain and brain processing by comparing your responses during the tests.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of a nerve in your ear can change how you feel pain from a capsaicin (chili pepper) patch on your leg. It may help researchers understand how to treat pain without drugs.
This study looks at how a placebo might help reduce two kinds of itch: one caused by histamine (like an allergy) and another caused by other substances. You will receive different creams or patches to test how your body responds.
