Summary

The main objective of this research work is to evaluate and quantify the hypoalgesia generated by motor imagery influenced by the presence of expectations.

Conditions

  • Cognitive Change

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

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"

BEHAVIORAL

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"

BEHAVIORAL

Neutral Expectations (initial)

This group will act as a control. No expectations will be given that will influence the participant.

BEHAVIORAL

Positive Expectations (during intervention)

A positive expectation will be given during the performance of the mental practice. "This is working very well"

BEHAVIORAL

Experimental: Negative Expectations (during intervention)

A negative expectation will be given during the performance of the mental practice. "This is working very bad"

BEHAVIORAL

Neutral Expectations (during intervention)

This group will act as a control. No expectations will be given that will influence the participant.
