Brief Summary

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

To evaluate the acute effect of MLD on pressure pain threshold (PPT), pain tolerance, tactile sensation, and muscle strength in healthy young adults.

healthy young adults were included in the study. Before and after MLD and plasebo touchs, the same physiotherapist performed PPT and pain tolerance measurements, muscle strength measurements with a hand dynamometer (Jamar®) and pinchmeter (Baseline®), and two-point discrimination (2PD) evaluation with an esthesiometer.

Study Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Intervention Type OTHER

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), one of the components of complex decongestive physiotherapy, is a gentle massage technique with proven positive effects on lymphatic circulation. MLD can be applied to different parts of the body (e.g., arms, legs, neck, abdomen, and trunk), with a different technique for each region (stationary circle, scoop, pump, and rotary)

Plasebo Group

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Plasebo Group

Intervention Type OTHER

random superficial touches not involved in any manual technique
