Official Title: Pain Modulation Effectiveness: An Experimental Study Using Repeated Conditioned Pain Modulation as an Intervention and Analyzing Potential Predictors in Healthy Adults.
Brief Summary:
Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is the behavioral measure of diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC), an endogenous pain inhibitory pathway in which pain inhibits pain.Conditioned pain modulation is less efficient in individuals with chronic pain conditions, and it is a predictor for the development of chronic pain.Continuous stimulation of central/cortical mechanisms through engaging CPM might alter pain processing and improve pain inhibition.Healthy participants will be randomly assigned to one of three…
