Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Neural stress provocation with cognitive auditory distraction	Neural stress provocation with cognitive auditory distraction	-
Providing neural stress with a motor distraction	Providing neural stress with a motor distraction	-
Neural Stress Provoked by the Median Nerve	median nerve mobilization	-
Neural stress provocation with both distractions	Neural stress provocation with auditory and motor cognitive distraction.	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain intensity	Change in pain intensity immediately at the end of the intervention	It is the subjective feeling of self-reported pain ranging from 0-100 points.
Mechanosensitivity based on range of motion	Change in pressure pain threshold immediately at the end of the intervention	The inclinometer, an instrument characterized by the constant use of gravity as a reference point to evaluate mobility, is used to evaluate the range of nerve movement.
