Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Positive Expectations (initial)
Positive Expectations (initial)
A positive expectation of the effect of motor imagery will be given before beginning the mental practice of imagination. "This task will generate hypoalgesia"
Negative Expectations (initial)
Negative Expectations (initial)
A negative expectation of the effect of motor imagery will be given before beginning the mental practice of imagination. "This task will not generate hypoalgesia"
Neutral Expectations (initial)
Neutral Expectations (initial)
This group will act as a control. No expectations will be given that will influence the participant.
Positive Expectations (during intervention)
Positive Expectations (during intervention)
A positive expectation will be given during the performance of the mental practice. "This is working very well"
Negative Expectations (during intervention)
Experimental: Negative Expectations (during intervention)
A negative expectation will be given during the performance of the mental practice. "This is working very bad"
Neutral Expectations (during intervention)
Neutral Expectations (during intervention)
This group will act as a control. No expectations will be given that will influence the participant.
