Study Summary
One in ten adults experience widespread pain. Neck pain, for example, is a prevalent condition with a high rate of recurrence that affects between 10.4% and 21.3% of the population annually. Massage is a common manual therapy intervention for individuals with musculoskeletal pain. However, the mechanisms of massage are not well established. Also, the conditioned pain modulation (CPM) paradigm is a dynamic quantitative sensory testing measure of a pain inhibitory process in which pain sensitivity is lessened in response to a remotely applied painful stimulus. This study will evaluate the association between pain inducing massage and the conditioned pain modulation paradigm.
Primary Outcome
Pressure in kilograms at which ascending pressure stimulus first changes from pressure to painful
Interventions
- OTHER Pain Inducing Massage
- OTHER Pain Free Massage
- OTHER Coldpressor
