- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pressure Pain Threshold Baseline, 15 minutes after the beginning of electrical stimulation, 30 minutes after the beginning of electrical stimulation, and 20 minutes after electrical stimulation. Pressure Pain Threshold will be measured using a digital pressure algometer SOMEDIC type II. The applied force will be measured in Newton (N).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sensory Discomfort 15 and 30 minutes after the beginning of electrical stimulation. Sensory Discomfort will be measured using a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). The degree of discomfort will be measured in centimeters (cm).
