Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Decreased pain intensity, verified through the numerical visual scale (NVS), which consists of a linear scale from 0 to 10 points, where the volunteer quantifies his pain according to the numbers on the scale. The absence of pain is quantified with the number 0 and the most intense pain that the individual has ever felt corresponds to the number 10. The decrease in pain will be determined by the difference of at least 1.6 points in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.
