Article Synopsis
- The study examines how professional dancers may report pain more consistently than non-dancers, indicating their training enhances awareness of bodily sensations.
- The assessment involved 33 dancers and 33 matched controls, using the focused analgesia selection test (FAST) to measure variability in pain reports.
- Results showed dancers had significantly less variability in pain reporting (P = .013) and that years of practice correlated positively with consistent pain reporting, suggesting that training can improve subjective pain assessments for better clinical outcomes.
