Brief Summary:
The objective of this randomized single-blind crossover study is to evaluate the effect of prayer compared to the practice of reading a text (control) on the pressure pain threshold in individuals with and without migraine. The main topics it aims to answer are:
* To analyze the relationship between individuals' spirituality, pain thresholds, and anxiety and depression scores.
* To evaluate the effects of different aspects of prayer (thanksgiving, adoration, confession, meditative, and petitionary) on cephalic pain thresholds in individuals with and without migraines.
Migraine group: 55 participants. Non-migraine group: 55 participants. Number of participants in total: 110.
Detailed Description:
Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) represent each person's sensitivity, where the pressure is gradually increased, and participants report when the applied pressure changes from a sensation of pressure to a sensation of pressure and pain. The NOD device is equipped with a digital algometry function, providing reliable quantification of the pressure pain threshold for each individual. For proper use, a 1 cm² adapter will be attached to the front of the device. The tip of this adapter will be positioned perpendicularly to the anatomical structures to be assessed: the temporal region, frontal region, occipital nerve, and vertex. Pain threshold, defined as the minimum pressure required to provoke pain, will be measured in Kg/cm².
