First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at whether the fear of pain can change the way healthy people walk. Researchers will apply a cream to participants' skin, telling some it might cause pain (even though it's neutral), and then measure their walking patterns and body responses. The goal is to understand how expecting pain affects movement, which could help improve treatments for chronic pain.
