Assessment of the Effects of Extensive Somatosensory Training on Pain Processing

NCT04457466 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2022-03-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Persistent pain may lead to several alterations in the brain activity and sensory perception (i.e. pain). Around 80% of professional musicians experience prolonged episodes of musculoskeletal pain throughout their careers, a percentage that is four times higher than in the general population. With this background, the intended experiment aims at understanding the role of several biological factors associated to sensorimotor training that can lead to alteration of the brain activity and, consequently, pain processing.
