Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Conditioned pain modulation

    Diffused noxious inhibitory control system will be measure with tourniquet test

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Pressure pain threshold

    Three consecutive trials of pressure pain threshold on the active trigger point at a rate of 1 kg/sec at intervals of 30 seconds were conducted.

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Cold hyperalgesia

    10 seconds of a cold pack and after that, rating the pain from 0 to 10

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Neural mechanosensitive

    Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 (ULNT1)

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Strength_grip

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Imagine movement capacity

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Psychological factors_Anxiety

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Psychological factors_Depression

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks

  • Psychological factors_Kinesiophobia

    Change from baseline at 2 weeks
