Does specific therapeutic exercise of the neck induce immediate local hypoalgesia?
This study showed an immediate local mechanical hypoalgesic response to specific exercise of the cervical spine. Understanding the pain-relieving effects of exercise will assist the clinician in prescribing the most appropriate exercise protocols for patients with chronic neck pain.
These results suggest that adenosine and adenosine analogues modulate ROS ingestion by RPE via activation of adenosine A2b receptors, possibly through the cAMP intracellular signaling pathway.
