Reliability of Pupil Response to Acute Pain

The purpose of this research study is to test whether researchers can reliably measure the response pupils have when an acute painful stimulus is experienced. Changes in the size of the pupil of the eye can be an indicator of brain activity in a region of the brain that is important for feeling pain.

NCT02628314 Pain Osteoarthritis
MeSH: Acute Pain


Primary Outcomes

Description: pupil diameter in response to 5 second presentation of noxious heat stimuli

Measure: Percentage of change in pupil diameter

Time: 8 weeks

Description: Verbal pain scores will be obtained during stimulus presentation

Measure: Change from Baseline Verbal Pain Scores

Time: 8 weeks

Time Perspective: Prospective

Cohort


There is one SNP

SNPs


1 V158M

Key secondary hypotheses: Compared to individuals homozygous for val at the val158met site of the catecholamine-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, those homozygous for met will show smaller pupil responses to noxious stimuli and weaker CPM. --- val158met ---
