Mean ± 1 SD of psychophysical measure of pain during the pain-stress challenge. VAS intensity refers to the average ratings of momentary pain acquired every 15 s for the duration of the pain-stress challenge (20 min). The remainder of the scales (MPQ; PANAS; and POMS-TMD) were obtained immediately after completion of the pain-stress challenge.
