Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary endpoint of the study will be the correlation between the change in pain intensity as measured by the visual analogue scale and as measured by heart rate variability.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1) whether there is a correlation between the response to pain using the visual analogue scale and the neuroticism subscale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire 2) whether there is a correlation between the response to pain using heart rate variability measures and the neuroticism subscale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire 3) the reproducibility of the correlation between the change in pain intensity and heart rate variability measures	—
