Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): Area of pin prick hyperalgesia 6 hours after stop of IMP;Main Objective: To study the reversal of established hyperalgesia. The main outcome variable will be: area of pin prick hyperalgesia.;Secondary Objective: To study the reversal effect on additional outcome variables for mechanical hyperalgesia will be: Stimulus response (SR)-function to a set of modified rigid von Frey filaments (8-512mN), area of dynamic allodynia to brush and SR-function to dynamic mechanical stimuli. Pain immediately after injection and heat pain threshold within the area of mechanical hyperalgesia will serve as additional outcome variables.
