Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the application of acupuncture alters the mechanical (range of elbow extension motion) and physiological (eg, intensity and onset of discomfort, tingling feeling and/or feeling of tension or restriction of movement) responses of the neurodynamic test of nerve median in asymptomatic individuals
