Long-term, health-enhancing physical activity is associated with reduction of pain but not pain sensitivity or improved exercise-induced hypoalgesia in persons with rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis Research & Therapy Dec 02, 2018
Löfgren M, et al. - Researchers evaluated the 1-year and 2-year outcome of a health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) support program on global pain, pressure pain sensitivity, and exercise-induced segmental and plurisegmental hypoalgesia (EIH) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. From a larger intervention cohort that engaged in strength training and moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 30 participants (27 women and 3 men) were enlisted. The participation in a long-term HEPA support program was linked to reduced global pain, while the sensitivity to pain under pressure at rest was not reduced and EIH did not change.
