The localized delivery of analgesics allows for reduced side effect profiles and pain scores in patients with chronic pain. Given their proven benefits and the development of novel intrathecal medications, intrathecal drug delivery systems are being used earlier in chronic pain management treatment pathways.

- The study investigates how aging and exercise training influence vasoconstriction in arterioles of aged rats, hypothesizing that aging slows this process while exercise speeds it up.
- Young (6 months) and aged (24 months) Fischer-344 rats were used in the experiment, with some kept sedentary and others trained on a treadmill for 10-12 weeks before analyzing their arterioles' responses to norepinephrine and caffeine.
- Results showed that aged rats had slower vasoconstriction rates, taking about three times longer than young rats, but exercise training equalized these rates across age groups for both substances tested.
