Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Conditioned pain modulation	Diffused noxious inhibitory control system will be measure with tourniquet test	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Primary	Pressure pain threshold	Three consecutive trials of pressure pain threshold on the active trigger point at a rate of 1 kg/sec at intervals of 30 seconds were conducted.	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Primary	Cold hyperalgesia	10 seconds of a cold pack and after that, rating the pain from 0 to 10	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Primary	Neural mechanosensitive	Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 (ULNT1)	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Secondary	Strength_grip	grip strength without pain	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Secondary	Imagine movement capacity	testing the capacity of imagine that their own body is movement. Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised (MIQ-R questionaire).; top score 56 and bottom score 8. The higher values indicates a better outcome.	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Secondary	Psychological factors_Anxiety	State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T). Top score 60 and bottom score 0. The higher values indicate worst outcomes.	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Secondary	Psychological factors_Depression	Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). the scores goes from 0 to 63. The higher values indicate worst outcomes.; Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II); Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
Secondary	Psychological factors_Kinesiophobia	Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia. Total scores goes from 11 to 44.The higher values indicate worst outcomes.	Change from baseline at 2 weeks
