Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study is to clarify the biological effect of physical therapy in tissue injury-induced chronic pain and immobilization-induced chronic pain on experimental animal model. Therapeutic intervention for the former model was continuous passive motion (CPM) therapy, and it to a latter model was a facilitation of the sensory input using the vibratory stimulation. As a result, an excessive rest after the tissue injury causes the central sensitization, and it develops in to the chronic pain when this phenomenon continues. CPM therapy applied during the acute phase of arthritis controlled the generation of the central sensitization and mitigated chronic pain. The findings suggest the central sensitization is caused by prolonging at the immobilization period, and immobilization-induced pain develops in to the chronic pain. The initiation of vibration therapy in the early phase of immobilization may inhibit hypersensitivity and central sensitization.
