Experimental desing—Cross-over, assessements and interventions in each one of three sessions. The period between each session was 1 week. (Motor evoked potential: MEP); Intra-cortical inhibition (ICI) expresses the relationship between the amplitude of wave and motor evoked potentials (relative amplitude, express in %), at inter-stimuli intervals (ISIs) of 2 ms with paired-pulse. The first is a sub-threshold stimulus [80% of the rest motor threshold (rMT)] followed by the second one which is a suprathreshold stimulus (130% rMT). Cortical silent period (CSP) expressed in milliseconds (ms); Motor-evoked potentials (MEP) expressed in mV, evoked by a stimulus of 130% the intensity of the rMT, and should have peak-to-peak MEP amplitude of at least 1 mV. Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM); Visual Analogue Sleepiness Scale (VASS); Brain Deriavete Neural Factor (BDNF).
