This third sub-project aims to evaluate the interaction between the TRPM8 receptor and pruritus by studying the anti-pruritic effect of TPRM8-agonist L-menthol on histaminergic and non-histaminergic itch induced using three different pruritogens: histamine, cowhage and papain.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Measuring itch intensity by computerized Visual Analog Scale Scoring | We will ask the subjects to rate the sensation of itch on a 100 mm VAS scale ranging from 0 to 100 where 0 indicates "no itch" and 100 indicates "worst itch imaginable | For 15 minutes | |
Primary | Measuring pain intensity by computerized Visual Analog Scale Scoring | We will ask the subjects to rate the sensation of pain on a 100 mm VAS scale ranging from 0 to 100 where 0 indicates "no pain" and 100 indicates "worst pain imaginable". | For 15 minutes | |
Primary | Superficial blood perfusion measurement | Superficial blood perfusion is measured by a Speckle contrast imager | After 15 minutes | |
Primary | Measuring Alloknesis | Alloknesis is measured by using mildly pruritic, non-painful von Frey nylon filaments of a predetermined intensity (generally 5-30 milliNewton of force). | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Cold Detection Thresholds (CDT) | The tests for thermal sensation will all be conducted using a PATHWAY ATS (Medoc Ltd, Israel) thermal sensory testing device. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Cold PainThresholds (CPT) | The tests for thermal sensation will all be conducted using a PATHWAY ATS (Medoc Ltd, Israel) thermal sensory testing device. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Heat Pain Thresholds (HPT) | The tests for thermal sensation will all be conducted using a PATHWAY ATS (Medoc Ltd, Israel) thermal sensory testing device. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Warm Detection Thresholds (WDT) | The tests for thermal sensation will all be conducted using a PATHWAY ATS (Medoc Ltd, Israel) thermal sensory testing device. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Pain to Supra-threshold Heat Stimuli | The tests for thermal sensation will all be conducted using a PATHWAY ATS (Medoc Ltd, Israel) thermal sensory testing device. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Mechanical Pain Thresholds (MPT) | This test is conducted using a pin-prick set. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Measurement of Mechanical Pain Sensitivity (MPS) | This test is conducted using a pin-prick set. | 15 minutes | |
Secondary | Touch Pleasantness (TP) | Pleasant touch sensation measured using a standardized sensory brush | 15 minutes |
