Summary

This study investigates if/how an experimentally applied neck muscle pain influences head repositioning error in healthy participants.

Detailed description

Healthy volunteers will participate in a single session study with a crossover design. During the study healthy participants will be randomized to either receive a injection of hypertonic saline (painful injection) or isotonic saline (control injection) in a neck muscle. Head repositioning accuracy will be assessed with and without performing a cognitive task.

Conditions

• Healthy
• Neck Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Injection of hypertonic saline	Painful condition: Participants will be injected in a neck muscle with 0.5ml of hypertonic saline (5.8%)
DRUG	Injection of Isotonic saline	Control condition: Participants will be injected in a neck muscle with 0.5ml isotonic saline (0.9%)
