Exercise-induced modulation of pain in adults with and without painful diabetic neuropathy.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to examine exercise-induced pain modulation in diabetic adults with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) compared to diabetic adults without PDN. Eighteen adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with and without PDN (mean age of 49 years) completed 2 sessions. During the familiarization session, participants completed questionnaires, were familiarized with the pain testing protocols, and completed maximal isometric contractions.
