CPM was assessed using pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) and tonic heat as test stimuli, respectively, with the cold pressor test as the conditioning stimulus. The CPM effect was calculated as absolute and relative changes during the conditioning stimulus compared with baseline. CPM responders were defined as having a CPM larger than the lower bounds of the CPM effect's 95% confidence interval.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      No correlations between heat\u2010 and pressure\u2010based CPM outcomes were found using either absolute or relative calculations.

The findings indicate that CPM may be a more complex phenomenon and that results obtained using heat and pressure test stimuli are not directly comparable, challenging the assumption that CPM is interchangeable across methods. This methodological difference may help explain inconsistencies across previous studies. Furthermore, the data suggest that absolute pressure CPM and relative heat CPM provide more stable measures for future research.<\/jats:p>\n
