Demonstrates aerobic exercise reduces neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury, suggesting a valuable addition to rehabilitation programs.
Key pointsThis study demonstrates the effectiveness of a non-pharmacological, feasible, and clinically applicable aerobic exercise intervention in reducing neuropathic pain and improving QoL in individuals with SCI.A reliable and replicable methodology was employed using accessible tools, such as a smartwatch and metronome, to achieve the target heart rate and exercise intensity.The findings support the integration of structured aerobic exercise into conventional SCI rehabilitation programs for its potential therapeutic benefits.This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting exercise-based interventions as a safe and practical adjunct to standard neuropathic pain management in SCI.
