Does muscular or mental fatigue have an influence on the nociceptive flexion reflex? a randomized cross ‐over study in healthy people

AbstractFatigue is a widespread complaint in both healthy and diseased individuals (Engberg et al., 2017; Finsterer et al., 2014) that is often described as an overwhelming sense of tiredness, lack of energy, and feeling of exhaustion (Gruet et al., 2013). Fatigue can be classified as mental fatigue, which relates to the cognitive or perceptual dimensions of fatigue, and physical fatigue, which concerns the performance of the motor system (Gruet et al., 2013).
