Summary
Using immersive virtual reality as a form of pain distraction during a brief "painful but tolerable" temperature.
Detailed description
This study will use Quantitative Sensory Testing (computer-controlled brief 10 second thermal pain stimuli) in healthy college students. The primary aim is to conduct a randomized, controlled study with healthy volunteers to explore whether interacting with virtual objects in VR via a high tech interactive VR system makes VR significantly more effective/powerful compared to a less immersive passive VR system, vs. No VR, for reducing pain during quantitative sensory testing.
