| Summary: | Physical inactivity is a global health concern and a significant problem among chronic pain patients. They often experience pain flare-ups when they try to increase their physical activity level. Most research on the relationship between pain sensitivity and physical activity has been on healthy participants. Data on chronic pain patients are lacking. Using cuff pressure algometry, this study investigated tonic cuff pressure pain sensitivity and its associations to self-reported physical activity and other patient-reported outcomes in chronic pain patients. |
