Fatiguing exercise can affect muscle pain sensitivity and muscle hardness, as seen with
work-related neck and shoulder pain. Objective methods to assess muscle pain sensitivity …

Objective: In contrast to the research using typical experimental pain stimuli, there is no
consensus that women are more sensitive to delayed onset muscle pain than men. The …

Objectives Muscle pain from different activities was tested with the muscle pain expected to
vary in ways that may clarify mechanisms of activity-induced exacerbation of myofascial …

Exercise is often used for pain rehabilitation but the link between physical activity level and
pain sensitivity is still not fully understood. Pressure pain sensitivity to cuff algometry and …

This study aimed at investigating in details the spatial characteristics of muscular
hyperalgesia after development of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in the trapezius …

Background Neck-shoulder pain conditions, eg, chronic trapezius myalgia, have been
associated with sensory disturbances such as increased sensitivity to experimentally …
