Changes in outcome measures associated with neurodynamic intervention

Clinical Pain	51.3 (28.7)	NA	NA	NA	37.9 (29.5)	−13.4 (31.2)	0.08
MP Brachioradialis	30.8 (26.7)	26.5 (29.4)	−4.3 (18.2)	0.32	23.9 (25.5)	−6.9 (16.4)	0.14

After-sensation	25.4 (21.2)	22.9 (26.1)	−2.5(16.9)	0.62	30.2 (31.5)	4.8 (24.8)	0.43

Immediate and 3- week changes in pain sensitivity and clinical pain intensity in response to a neurodynamic intervention (NDI). MP= mechanical pain sensitivity to 2.3 kg of force as indicated along a 100 mm mechanical visual analog scale (mvas). Clinical pain, temporal summation, and after- sensation were all measured by a 0 to 100 numeric rating scale anchored with 0= no pain to 100= the worst pain imaginable.
