Brief Summary
Changes in sensory thresholds and pain thresholds will be measured with quantitative sensory testing (QST) before and during hypnotic relaxation in healthy volunteers. Hypnotic susceptibility will be assessed before QST. QST data before and during hypnosis will be compared. Observed sensory changes will be evaluated in relation to the assessed hypnotic susceptibility
