Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To evaluate the response of the autonomic nervous system to osteopathic manipulative treatment.<br><br>The behavior of the ANS will be studied through heart rate variability (HRV). For this we will use the Polar Wearlink® (Kempele, Finland) cardiofrequency meter with Hybrid Transmitter (Kempele, Finland). The electrical signal will be sent through the Polar Windlink to Polar ProTrainer 5 software (Kempele, Finland). Data will be exported for analysis by Kubios HRV Standart software version 3.1 (University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Perception of pain<br><br>To access the participants' perception of pain, we will use the numerical scale of pain evaluation of 11 points (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain). (14) Pain will be quantified before treatment and after one week of term.;Functional disability<br><br>To access perceived functional disability we will use the Roland Morris questionnaire. The disability will be quantified pre-treatment and after one week of completion.;Quality of life<br><br>To access perceived quality of life, we will use the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire. Quality of life will be quantified pre-treatment and after one week of term.
