| dc.description.abstract | Acupuncture appears to reduce the mechanosensitivity of peripheral nerves in animal models; yet, this possibility has not been demonstrated in humans.The main purpose of this exploratory trial was to evaluate the immediate effects of acupuncture on the mechanosensitivity of the median nerve, measured by the elbow extension range-of-motion (EE–ROM) at pain onset and maximum tolerance during the upper limb neurodynamic test 1 (ULNT1). Additional purposes were to test the effects of two different points in ULNT1 responses and critically appraise pre-/post-intervention changes for conducting future research. | pt_PT |
