How often did the horrific torture methods and executions that we read about actually happen in Medieval Times?

Around what percent of people got tortured or executed using those extremely harsh methods? What crime did people often have to commit?

As a follow up question: was tickling actually used as a torture method in medieval times? I remember hearing about in once in a Highschool Text Book of mine, but i never actually saw historical proof and/or how common it was.
