Pressure hyperalgesia was affected by age whereas dynamic pain mechanisms such as TSP and CPM were unaffected suggesting that these parameters are robust for a larger age range and reliable for long-term follow-up studies.

This article presents a novel experimental human pain model suitable to study the sustained effects of lateral elbow pain on sensorimotor function and to probe the mechanisms underlying persistent musculoskeletal pain.

Neck pain patients report increased symptoms following upper limb activities. This study shows that repeated arm movements caused differentiated responses in pain sensitivity and muscle activity between subgroups of neck pain patient and asymptomatic controls. Such findings may be of great clinical significance when planning rehabilitation for this patient population.
