The first aim of the current project is to test the precision of AFI in the epidermis of 10 healthy volunteers. For this purpose, a range of nociceptive electrical stimuli with increasing intensities (5Hz @ 0.5mA-1.0mA) and one innocuous control stimulus (2000Hz @1mA) will be delivered to the third finger of each subject. The outcome measure is AFI-intensity, which is the change in autofluorescence intensity compared to baseline (delta F/F). The standard deviation of AFI intensity will be the measure of precision. Pearson's correlation coefficient will be calculated between electrical stimulus intensities and AFI intensity. A linear correlation needs to be confirmed, since this is a general characteristic of AFI. A paired t-tests will be performed to compare AFI intensities following 5Hz @ 1mA stimulation and 2000Hz @ 1mA stimulation. Lidocaine/prilocaine cream will be applied to the fingertips of the subjects and the electrical stimuli will be repeated, to serve as a negative control experiment. A repeated-measures ANOVA will be performed to compare AFI intensities before and after application of lidocaine/prilocaine cream.
