TENS: Randomized frequency modulation
"Transcutaneous application of Conventional TENS current over the course of the superficial radial nerve in the right forearm for a 20 minutes session. The intensity of the current will increase until participants report a strong but comfortable sensation, just Transcutaneous application of Conventional TENS current over the course of the superficial radial nerve in the right forearm for a 20 minutes session. The intensity of the current will increase until participants report a strong but comfortable sensation, just below motor threshold. Currents parameters are:~Frequency modulation: randomized pattern (from 80 to 120 Hz) Pulse width 200 microseconds"
TENS: Scan 6/6 of frequency modulation
"Transcutaneous application of Conventional TENS current over the course of the superficial radial nerve in the right forearm for a 20 minutes session. The intensity of the current will increase until participants report a strong but comfortable sensation, just below motor threshold. Currents parameters are:~Frequency modulation: Scan of frequency from 80 to 120 Hz in 6/6 mode (frequency sweep from 80 Hz to 120 Hz in 6 seconds and from 120 to 80 Hz in 6 secons) Pulse width 200 microseconds"
TENS: Fixed frequency
"Transcutaneous application of Conventional TENS current over the course of the superficial radial nerve in the right forearm for a 20 minutes session. The intensity of the current will increase until participants report a strong but comfortable sensation, just below motor threshold. Currents parameters are:~Fixed frequency at 100 Hz Pulse width 200 microseconds"
Sham Stimulation
Electrodes are placed over the course of the superficial radial nerve in the right forearm for a 20 minutes in the same manner as experimental groups, but will be applied a sham electrical stimulation increasing the current intensity of an unconnected channel.
