Interventions

Attention/Distraction Strategybehavioral

One of three Cognitive Pain Inhibition Strategies. The Participant will be instructed to attend away from the thermal stimulus (for example, to the other side of the body). Vividly imagine they are somewhere else, or engage in a high-demanding mental task such as counting backward by 7's or completing math problems to distract from the experience

Stimulus Quality/Severity Strategybehavioral

One of three Cognitive Pain Inhibition Strategies. The Participant will be instructed to attempt to perceive the stimulus as a neutral sensory experience rather than pain. Attempt to perceive the stimulus as low intensity rather than high intensity.

Control Strategybehavioral

One of three Cognitive Pain Inhibition Strategies. The Participant will be instructed to attempt to take control of their perception of the painful experience.
