Filter by:This project aims to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of catastrophizing (rumination, magnification, and helplessness) as well as some specific personality traits related to catastrophizing tendencies like anxiety sensitivity and fear sensitivity in the modulation of itch and pain intensities in an experimental setting.
In This experiment, the investigators would like to design a new itch model based on the temporal summation of pruritic stimuli. The hypothesis behind this study (temporal summation) is that two overlapped applications of pruritogens will result in a higher itch sensation compared with a single application.
In This experiment, the investigators would like to design a new itch model based on the spatial summation of pruritic stimuli. The hypothesis behind this study (spatial summation) is that two simultaneous applications of pruritogens will result in higher itch sensation compared with a single application of pruritogen.
In This experiment, the investigators would like to test following hypotheses: repetitive cutaneous administration of pruritogens will lead to a more robust and longer lasting itch sensation compared with a single application. The aim of this project is to investigate a new itch model based on repetitive administration of three different pruritogens: histamine (histaminergic itch), cowhage, and BAM 8-22 (non-histaminergic itch).
Blocking histamine H1/H2 receptors blunts chronic endurance training adaptations. The current study addresses the following research question: "What is the influence of histamine H1 signaling on training adaptations following ten weeks of resistance training in human skeletal muscle." Results from this study will yield more insights into the molecular mechanisms of adaptations to exercise training.
In This experiment, the investigators would like to test following hypotheses regarding the influence of sleep deprivation on itch: - To investigate similarity and differences between itch and pain by comparing the effect of sleep deprivation in them. - To evaluate the inflammatory state induced by sleep fragmentation via the analysis of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels from blood samples. - To correlate the anxiety and depression scores (evaluated through questionnaires) with itch and pain sensitivity and evaluate how they are affected by sleep.

Blocking histamine H1/H2 receptors blunts chronic endurance training adaptations. The current study addresses a twofold research question: "What is the influence of endurance training (1) and histamine H1 and H2 signaling (2) on the gene expression in human skeletal muscle." Results from this study will yield more insights into the molecular mechanisms of adaptations to exercise training.
The aim of this study is to the effect of opioid (morphine) intradermal application on histaminergic and non-histaminergic itch. In particular, we would like to demonstrate that also peripheral administration of morphine may affect mast cell release of histamine.
The purpose of this human experimental study is to evaluate the pattern of itch intensity over time in response to strong, short-term heat stimulation in two different models of histamine and cowhage-induced itch. Moreover, the purpose is to evaluate the effect of mild pre-heating of the skin in human experimental models of histamine, cowhage and serotonin. Finally, we want to investigate the effect of short-term intense heat stimulation on previously anesthetized skin.
