Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
