Trial Outcomes & Findings for Exercise Dosing for Pain in Healthy Participants (NCT NCT03642938)

NCT ID: NCT03642938

Last Updated: 2023-08-02

Results Overview

Subjects' cutaneous mechanical sensitivity threshold will be examined using standard monofilaments that apply a force of 0.008g, 0.02g, 0.04g, 0.07g, 0.16g, 0.4g, 0.6g and 1.0g to the forearm and calf. Percent Baseline to 24 hrs post-intervention will then be calculated (100\*Value at 24 hours/Value at Baseline). A filament of different weight is applied to the skin to look at the threshold of response.

Timeframe: baseline and 24 hrs-post final intervention session

Subjects' constant heat pain intensity rating will be assessed using a (45 degree Celsius, 3cm x 5cm heating block applied to the forearm and calf for 3 seconds). Following the stimulus, subjects will rate the intensity of the pain associated with the stimulus using a visual analog scale numbered at 0 and 10, where "0" represents "no pain" and "10" represents "the worst pain imaginable" (0=minimum score, 10 maximum score). Percent baseline to 24 hrs post-intervention will then be calculated (100\*Value at 24 hours/Value at Baseline).
