Exercise and Pain in Non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pain, Acute, Pain, Neuropathic, Analgesia, Aerobic Exercise, Exercise Training

In brief

Non-Hispanic Blacks tend to report higher levels of pain, experience pain more frequently, and be under-treated for pain compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Acute (single session) exercise is known to be effective at reducing pain but it is unknown what effect chronic exercise training has on pain responses. The broad goal of this study is to determine whether regular exercise training is more effective at reducing pain responses in non-Hispanic Blacks compared to non-Hispanic Whites. The investigators are interested in comparing regular aerobic exercise training versus high-intensity interval training.
