Figure 3. Offset analgesia (OA) paradigm.

Figure 3.

A. The temperature profile used was tailored to each participant based on heat pain thresholds determined in the baseline run of QST, and identical temperature profile used across all three conditions. Example profiles are shown for participants with 5/10 heat pain thresholds closest to 43 and 49 on baseline testing. B. Average pain rating during the OA paradigm, shown across conditions. Pain ratings were significantly lower at T1 during the favorite music condition and were similar across the three conditions at T3. OA, calculated as difference in pain rating at T3-T1, was less during favorite music compared to the Unwind and white noise conditions.
