Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether measuring sweat gland activity on the skin can detect pain. Thirty-seven healthy volunteers will dip their hand in ice-cold water while wearing a skin sensor. Some will also do a stressful color-naming task. The goal is to see if the sensor can tell mild, moderate, and severe pain apart, and whether stress changes the signal.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a device that measures pain objectively using skin signals, helping doctors treat pain better.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study in healthy people, not patients. The results may not apply to real-world pain or lead to a working device.
