The purpose of this study is to investigate if the feeling of boredom could influence mechanical pain thresholds.
Participants will be randomized into 3 different groups watching different short video-clips (2.30 min). The boredom group will watch a boring video about ploughing, the distraction control group will watch a positively valenced video, the control group will just wait for 2.30 min, without any instructions about what to think about. Pressure pain thresholds will be measured with an algometer before and after the video-clip interventions.
