Massage guns and step tracking: new hope for older women in pain?

NCT ID NCT07056335

Summary

This study tested whether having older women track their daily physical activity, their use of a massage gun, or both, would help them stick with these pain-management strategies. Researchers enrolled 108 women aged 65+ who reported chronic pain as a barrier to being active. The goal was to find the best self-tracking method to improve adherence and, in turn, reduce pain intensity and how much pain interferes with daily life.
