简要总结
This study evaluates the influence of motor imagery and the observation of actions on pain perception. Participants in this study are asymptomatic subjects who will perform an IM and AO protocol of an aerobic exercise.
详细描述
Motor Imagery (MI) is defined as a dynamic mental process that involves the representation of an action, in an internal way, without its actual motor execution. The Action Observation (AO) evokes an internal, real-time motor simulation of the movements that the observer is perceiving visually. Both mental processes trigger the activation of the neurocognitive mechanisms that underlie the planning and execution of voluntary movements in a manner that resembles how the action is performed in a real manner. The phenomenon of exercise-induced hypoalgesia is well known. This is why it has been suggested that these techniques could produce pain modulation similar to that produced by real exercise.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain pressure threshold
时间窗: Change from baseline and immediately post-intervention
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) is one of these tests and it is defined as the minimum force applied which induces pain. The measurement shall be carried out by using an algometer (pressure device that induces mechanical stimuli) is to standardize the amount of pressure applied in the neck region. The reliability of pressure pain thresholds according to raters or measurement frequencies is relatively high
次要结局
- The degree of physical activity(Immediately before the intervention)
- Kinesiophobia(Immediately before the intervention)
- Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Ability(Immediately before the intervention)
- Electrodermal Activity(Change in electrodermal activity after 5 minutes post-intervention)
- Respiration Rate(Change in electrodermal activity after 5 minutes post-intervention)
