| The Role of Exercise in Pain Management | |||
| Dr. Kuphal will present (nonclinical) data on the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, such as exercise, on behavioral correlates of pain using animal models of neuropathic pain. She will focus on the ability of exercise training to modulate allodynia (painful response to a normally non noxious stimulus) and hyperalgesia (exaggerated painful response to noxious stimuli) in the setting of neuropathic pain while concomitantly influencing cardiorespiratory capacity. Dr. Koltyn will present research on the efficacy of exercise in the management of pain in older adults. She will focus on various exercise protocols used to manage pain in older adults who are either living independently in the community or residing in assisted living facilities. Dr. Bement’s presentation will include the dosing of resistance training in healthy adults, including the role of the menstrual cycle on the exercise-induced changes in pain perception. Dr. Bement will discuss translating these data to individuals with chronic pain. | |||
