Exercise and pain relief: arm vs leg training
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares how resistance training of the arms versus legs affects your body's natural ability to reduce pain. It may help understand which type of exercise is best for managing pain.

This trial compares how well exercise reduces pain sensitivity in the arms versus the legs. Healthy participants will do exercise and have their pain response measured to understand how exercise can naturally relieve pain.
This study looks at whether exercise can reduce pain sensitivity in people who have had a stroke and in healthy individuals. Participants will pedal on a stationary bike to see how their pain perception changes.
This study looks at how exercise affects pain sensitivity differently in men and women. If you are a healthy adult between 18 and 65, you will do a short bout of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise to see if it helps reduce pain sensitivity.
This trial is for older adults (65+). It combines pain science education with exercise to help manage chronic pain. You'll learn about how pain works and practice exercises designed to reduce pain and improve movement.
This study looks at how your body's pain-sensing systems change when you do strength training and get tired. Researchers want to understand if fatigue from exercise actually helps reduce how much pain you feel, which could help improve training and recovery programs.
This study looks at how moving your arms and legs might help reduce pain for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you will do some light exercise so researchers can see if it helps your knee feel better.
