Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this research project is to evaluate the effect of an acute exercise intervention on pain intensity and movement control. It also aims to investigate potential differences in movement con-trol between patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain compared to healthy controls.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this research project is to evaluate the effect of an acute exercise intervention on pain intensity and movement control. It also aims to investigate potential differences in movement control between patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain compared to healthy controls. All tests will be conducted at Dalarna University.

After the initial baseline tests, participants will be randomised to either acute exercise intervention group or to a control group not performing any intervention groups (both patients and controls will be randomised to intervention or control). If randomised to the control group, participants rests corresponding to the time it takes to perform the intervention (30 min), and then preform the post-intervention tests similar as the intervention group.
