Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain: To measure the pain of patients, a 100 mm long ruler known as Visual Analogue Scale will be used, with the word "no pain" at one end and the word "maximum pain" at the other end. In this study, people who have pain of at least 30 will be included in the study. Timepoint: Before the start of the intervention, immediately after the first intervention session, after the 6th intervention session and one month after the last intervention session. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Neuro-cognitive variables that include visual and auditory selective reaction time and complex visual and complex auditory choice and prediction skill at low and high speed, which are measured with the Speed ??Anticipation Reaction Time system. Timepoint: Before the first intervention, immediately after the first internal session, after the 6th intervention session and one month after the last intervention session. Method of measurement: Speed ??Anticipation Reaction Time system.
