APPENDIX
In this study, after each thermal pain stimulus, five separate ratings were administered (including 3 pain ratings) with a pictorial example of the labeled graphic rating scale for each query (see full questionnaire in "Appendix After each baseline pain stimulus (foot only) subjects received the following instructions prior to answering the five separate queries. “Please indicate how you felt during the most recent pain stimulus by making a mark anywhere on the line. Your response does not have to be a whole number.” After each brief thermal stimulus, participants indicated how painful they found the stimulus to their foot, using Graphic Rating Scales (GRS) to measure “worst pain”, “pain unpleasantness”, and “time spent thinking about pain”. Participants were also asked how much fun they had during the most recent thermal stimulus, and how anxious/nervous they were during the baseline pain stimuli and after each subsequent pain stimulus.
