Pain as Measured by the Visual Analog Scale Primary · Change in outcome from baseline to 2-week follow-up (after the last day of stimulation)

The VAS is a common assessment used which asks subjects to self-reportedly measure their pain on a visual scale (i.e., unbearable to none). We will use a VAS to determine subjects' pain scores. Subjects will rate their pain from 0 - indicating no pain at all, to 10 - indicating the worst pain felt. This scale is also colored, from green (at 0) to red (at 10), as a visual indicator of pain.
