Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
PinPrick and Pressure Algometer Evoked Potentials in EEG under Different Conditions (Stimulus without Condition and Stimulus with Conditioning Cold Stimulus [Cold Bath 6°C])	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Pain perception on a visual analog scale in response to the mechanical noxious stimulus (512 mN Pinprick) with and without conditioned pain modulation. - Pressure pain threshold measured using a pressure algometer with and without conditioned pain modulation. - Physical performance (maximum oxygen uptake capacity [VO2max]; Maximum isokinetic strength of the thigh flexors and extensors; maximum grip strength).	—
