Clinical research on establishing a quantitative method for estimating pain using electroencephalography

JRCT ID: jRCT1052240093

Registered date:17/07/2024

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Complete
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Good Health and Chronic pain
• Date of first enrollment: 17/07/2024
• Target sample size: 10
• Study type: Interventional
• Intervention(s): The experimental thermal stimuli of 30 degrees to 50 degrees are appiled to the forearm of the research subject using the thermal stimulator.

Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome

1. EEG data from healthy subjects and chronic pain patients will be converted to digital format using an AD converter (electroencephalograph) manufactured by PaMeLa Inc. and transferred to a general-purpose PC. PS will then be calculated based on the company's algorithm and displayed as an objective evaluation result.
2. Subjective evaluation of pain in healthy subjects and chronic pain patients will be performed using a VAS recording device.
