Figure Lengend Snippet: A visual summary of the different methods used to induce pain states experimentally: a CO 2 laser is used as a heat stimulus, but similar effects can be achieved through the CHEPS. The participant’s hand is submerged in ice water for the CPT method. Intra-epidermal electrical stimulation consists of needles that penetrate the skin to deliver electrical stimuli. Mechanical stimulation often consists of using a weighted pinprick or a probe to apply pressure to the skin. Nerve growth factor is used to increase pain sensitivity around the area of injection by decreasing pain thresholds. This is why it may be paired with one of the other mentioned techniques.
