Brief summary (from the registry)
This study aims to compare function of the body's endogenous pain modulation system between people with localized low back pain versus widespread body pain. Endogenous pain modulation refers to the body's natural ability to inhibit one pain stimulus by applying a second pain stimulus. This study will assess pain inhibition by measuring pressure pain thresholds at the low back before and during cold water hand immersion. The researchers hypothesize that those with widespread body pain will have worse functioning of pain inhibition compared to those with localized low back pain only. The results may provide insights into personalized chronic pain management approaches.
