Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to establish a model that is capable of evaluating the effects of analgesics on the pain matrix on both peripheral, spinal, supraspinal, and modulatory level. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives include assessing the sensitivity of such a model to a Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor drug. ;Primary end point(s): To evaluate changes in pain sensitivity (as measured from the nociceptive withdrawal reflex, spinal evoked potentials, electroencephalographic spectral analysis) towards electrical stimulation between placebo and active medications;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At baseline and after 5 days/8 doses | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): To evaluate changes in subjective pain experience (as measured by numerical rating scales) towards electrical stimulation between placebo and active medications;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At baseline and after 5 days/8 doses | — |
