Pain Processing and Pain Reporting in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease
The study investigates pain processing and pain reporting in patients with Alzheimers disease compared to healthy participants.
Employing a within-subject design, the study includes patients with Alzheimers disease and healthy participants that are exposed to thermal stimuli. During the test session the facial expressions of the participant are video recorded.
By repeating this on separate test days, the involvement of pain relief and pain increase is investigated.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Numerical rating scale (NRS)
Time Frame: Participants will be tested on three different days. The numerical rating scale will be applied after each thermal stimulus for each test session.
|
Acute pain assessed on numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain experience) to 10 (worst pain), examining pain intensity.
The participant will provide a number on the scale which reflects their pain intensity.
|
Participants will be tested on three different days. The numerical rating scale will be applied after each thermal stimulus for each test session.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pain Assessment in persons with Impaired Cognition (PAIC)
Time Frame: Participants will be video recorded on each of the three test days during testing.
|
Video recordings will be analyzed with the PAIC scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (great degree).
|
Participants will be video recorded on each of the three test days during testing.
