Does pain mess with how seniors learn to walk?
NCT ID NCT07054840
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at how short-term pain, created with a capsaicin heat patch, changes the way older adults (ages 55-90) learn and remember new walking patterns. Researchers will measure how well participants adjust their step symmetry on a split-belt treadmill and whether they retain that learning the next day. The goal is to understand pain's impact on motor learning in aging, not to treat any condition.
