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 determine whether passive accessory intervertebral mobilization applied to the fourth thoracic vertebra produces autonomic effects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Asymptomatic subjects will be recruited to this study. Pressure pain threshold, heart rate, heart rate variability and skin conductance will be measured before, immediately after and fifteen minutes after the intervention.

Subjects will be randomized into three groups: Passive accessory intervertebral mobilization one, passive accessory intervertebral mobilization two and placebo group.

The researcher that will do the intervention will be blinded to the outcomes measures, and the researcher that will do the measurements will be blind to the intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Spinal mobilization

20 subjects will be randomized to this arm. A postero-anterior (PA) mobilization, to the fourth thoracic vertebra will be applied, for 3 sets of one minute. The subject will be comfortable prone lying.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Spinal mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Experimental group

Spinal Mobilization II

20 subjects will be randomized to this arm. A postero-anterior (PA) mobilization, to the fourth thoracic vertebra will be applied, for 3 sets of one minute, but in this case, the subject will be seated, in a position that influence the sympathetic trunk, at the thorax.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Spinal Mobilization II

Intervention Type OTHER

Active comparator group

Placebo

20 subjects will be randomized to this arm. Only manual contact will be applied, without any oscillation. The subject will be comfortable prone lying. The intervention time is the same of the other arms.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
