Study Summary
This study compares how different types of touch found in massage therapies impact pain perception, and whether these effects differ in individuals with and without chronic pain. This study also examines psychological factors that may predict differences in touch perception in individuals with chronic pain. This research will improve our understanding of whether and how massage therapies can benefit pain and health, and whether this differs in people who suffer from chronic pain.
Primary Outcome
The investigators will measure chronic pain levels using the Characteristic Pain Intensity score, a subscale of the Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire (CPGQ). The questions that contribute to the subscale each use a scale from 0-10 where 0 is 'no pain' and 10 is 'pain as bad could be', and their mean is multiplied by 10. The intensity subscale score thus ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 would be least pain reported and 100 would be the most pain reported. This measure will be included in a linear reg
