Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to find out if different types of anxiety impact the sensation of how sensitive various muscles are to the application of pressure. This information can help researchers and healthcare providers better understand how people feel pain differently based on emotional factors This study is designed to study people who can be expected to have normal pain sensation processing

Conditions

Pain; Anxiety; Musculoskeletal Pain; Sensitisation
