TL;DR: This article provides a contemporary review of the acute effects of exercise on pain and pain sensitivity, including in people with chronic pain conditions, and discusses possible biological mechanisms and potential influence of sex and psychosocial factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jo Nijs,Jo Nijs,Steven Z. George,Daniel J. Clauw,César Fernández-de-las-Peñas,Eva Kosek,Eva Kosek,Kelly Ickmans,Kelly Ickmans,Josué Fernández-Carnero,Andrea Polli,Andrea Polli,Eleni Kapreli,Eva Huysmans,Eva Huysmans,Antonio Cuesta-Vargas,Ramakrishnan Mani,Mari Lundberg,Laurence Leysen,David A Rice,Michele Sterling,Michele Curatolo +21 more
TL;DR: The available evidence supports various pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies to reduce central sensitisation and to improve patient outcomes in several conditions commonly seen in rheumatology practice and studies suggest the possibility of matching non-Pharmacological approaches, or medications, or both to thecentral sensitisation pain phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep disturbances and severe stress as glial activators: key targets for treating central sensitization in chronic pain patients?
Jo Nijs,Marco L. Loggia,Andrea Polli,Maarten Moens,Eva Huysmans,Lisa Goudman,Mira Meeus,Luc Vanderweeën,Kelly Ickmans,Daniel J. Clauw +9 more
TL;DR: This review focused on preclinical work and mostly on the neurobiochemistry studied in animals, with limited human studies available, to explore the mechanisms of sensitization of the central nervous system in chronic pain patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of central sensitization in patients with chronic pain: time for change?
Jo Nijs,Laurence Leysen,Johan Vanlauwe,Tine Logghe,Kelly Ickmans,Andrea Polli,Anneleen Malfliet,Iris Coppieters,Iris Coppieters,Eva Huysmans +9 more
TL;DR: The treatment rationale based on the complex mechanisms underlying CS in patients having chronic pain is presented and emphasis is given to explaining the concept of CS when providing treatment, as well as why patients and clinicians should focus on long-term rather than short-term treatment effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomical and functional correlates of persistent pain in Parkinson's disease.
Andrea Polli,Luca Weis,Roberta Biundo,Michael Thacker,Andrea Turolla,Kostantinos Koutsikos,K. Ray Chaudhuri,Angelo Antonini +7 more
TL;DR: The pathophysiology of pain in Parkinson's disease is still poorly understood, although it is conceivable that supraspinal mechanisms may be responsible for pain generation and maintenance.
