Are autonomic heart rate responses to pain anticipation and stimulation repeatable in healthy volunteers?
Individual differences in autonomic responses to pain anticipation and stimulation are highly repeatable over a three-week period, providing a reliable measure for experimental settings despite habituation.
Colloca et al. (2005) studied this question.
