AB  - We examined changes in pain sensitivity in the rubber hand illusion (RHI). 
      Experiment 1 investigated changes in pain tolerance immediately after a "healthy" 
      and "wounded" RHI when immersing the hand in a cold pressor ice bath. There was 
      19% increased pain tolerance and increased perception detection threshold after 
      the healthy RHI, but 11% reduction after the wounded RHI. Experiment 2 examined 
      pain experience during the wounded RHI with capsaicin-induced hyperalgesia. Pain 
      intensity and unpleasantness was higher on the illusion arm during the 
      synchronous RHI, compared with asynchronous trials. There was no change in pain 
      experience on the control arm, and both arms had similar pain sensitivity after 
      the experiment. Our results highlight the impact of embodying a substitute limb 
      on pain, with increased tolerance and reduced tactile sensitivity when the fake 
      limb is healthy and apparently pain-free, but increased pain sensitivity when the 
      self-attributed limb appears to be wounded.
