Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objectives of the present study are to demonstrate potential antiinflammatory, antihyperalgesic on the peripheral and/or central level effects of Botulinum toxin a (Dyport). ;Secondary Objective: Furthermore, we want to explore a potential mitigation of BoNT/A by UV-B irradiation and /or the ensuing sunburn reaction of the skin.;Primary end point(s): The main outcome variables will be: 1.for peripheral antihyperalgesic effects: heat pain perception threshold (HPPT) 2.for central antihyperalgesic effects: area of secondary hyperalgesia 3.for anti-inflammatory effects: superficial skin blood flow in the sunburn spots, as assessed with laser Doppler interferometry (LDI) 4.for BoNT/A activity after UV-B irradiation and sunburn: area of anhidrosis as assessed with the iondine starch test (Minor Test).
