Summary
This study looks at whether a single session of intense aerobic exercise can temporarily reduce pain sensitivity in 66 young people with and without chronic pain. Participants will walk or run on a treadmill, and researchers will measure how their pain perception changes. The goal is to see if exercise could be a simple, medication-free way to help teens with chronic pain feel better and get back to normal activities.
