Cardiovascular Autonomic Function and Endogenous Pain Modulation
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Fibromyalgia, Exercise, Pain, Autonomic Dysfunction, Physical Activity
In brief
The study has three aims: 1. To investigate the influence of cardiovascular autonomic function on pain sensitivity at rest in patients with fibromyalgia and age- and sex-matched controls 2. To investigate the influence of cardiovascular autonomic function at baseline and during exercise on the pain response following submaximal isometric exercise 3. To study the relation between the pain response following physical and cognitive tasks (exercise and mental math, respectively).
