A member asked:
How many seconds (or minutes) must your hand be submerged in ice water to be considered to have a high pain tolerance in a cold pressor test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least a minute...: Used for pain threshold and pain tolerance - this is done by requiring a participant to place their hand in the cold pressor for as long as they can. Once pain is present, they let the researcher know. Once the pain is unbearable, the participant removes his/her hand. This provides a measure of threshold (first feeling pain) and tolerance (total time minus threshold).

My hands are constantly burning as if you are getting into extremely warm water with ice cold feet. It relieves when I hold ice on it. It started a day ago and has become imbareble.
