简要总结
To evaluate the acute effect of MLD on pressure pain threshold (PPT), pain tolerance, tactile sensation, and muscle strength in healthy young adults.
healthy young adults were included in the study. Before and after MLD and plasebo touchs, the same physiotherapist performed PPT and pain tolerance measurements, muscle strength measurements with a hand dynamometer (Jamar®) and pinchmeter (Baseline®), and two-point discrimination (2PD) evaluation with an esthesiometer.

结局指标
主要结局
pain tolerance
时间窗: 5 minutes
pain tolerance measurements will be performed using a 1-cm2 surface algometer.The algometer will be positioned vertically and placed on the thenar, hypothenar, mid-ulnar, and biceps regions using the marked points.The highest tolerable pressure will be used in the measurement and it will be recorded.
Two-point discrimination (2PD)
时间窗: 10 minutes
This evaluation will be performed using an esthesiometer with the participants in the sitting position with their eyes closed. Evaluation will be made from the biceps medial to the elbow. The contact time of the two-point stimulation will be adjusted to be approximately 1-2 seconds, and approximately 3-5 seconds will be waited between each stimulation. The shortest distance felt between two points provided the static 2PD value
pressure pain threshold (PPT)
时间窗: 5 minutes
PPT measurements will be performed using a 1-cm2 surface algometer.The algometer will be positioned vertically and placed on the thenar, hypothenar, mid-ulnar, and biceps regions using the marked points. Measurements will be repeated three times. The average of these three measurements will be used for analysis.
Evaluation Finger Pinch Strength
时间窗: 5 minutes
A pinchmeter (Baseline®) will be used to measure finger pinch strength. Three measurements will be made at one-minute intervals, and the average values will be recorded
Evaluation of Hand Grip Strength
时间窗: 5 minutes
The Jamar will be used to measure hand grip strength.Three measurements will be made at one-minute intervals, and the average values will be recorded
