Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal physical exercise program for older adults (\> 60 years) with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the impact of the intervention program on participants´ pain intensity (primary outcome), function, physical performance, and somatosensory function (secondary outcomes)? Participants will be assessed at 3 different moments: initial assessment (T0), at the end of the intervention protocol (10 weeks) (T1) and 3 months after the end of the intervention protocol (T2). The intervention protocol will consist of a multimodal exercise program to be carried out over a period of 10 weeks at a frequency of twice a week.
