U.S., July 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07688525) titled 'Pain Beliefs and Intracortical Excitability During Experimental Pain' on June 25.
Brief Summary: Pain can influence the way the motor system functions. However, responses to pain vary widely between individuals, and this variability may be partly related to pain-related beliefs such as kinesiophobia.
This study examines whether temporary experimental pain changes intracortical excitability in the motor cortex, and whether this response differs according to baseline kinesiophobia. Healthy adults will complete one experimental session. Motor cortex excitability will first be assessed at baseline using transcranial magnetic stimulation...
