In This experiment, the investigators would like to test following hypotheses: the pain stimulation applied at the same time of a pruriceptive stimulus will decrease the itch perception. Moreover, also the effect of the cutaneous pain stimulus location (same forearm of the pruriceptive stimulus versus the opposite forearm) on histaminergic and non-histaminergic itch will be investigated.
