Diabetic Neuropathic Pain has Endogenous Modulation Depending on the Intensity of Physical Exercise: A Brief Communication

Abstract

The opioidergic systems play a key role in endogenous modulation of neuropathic pain, given that Naloxone, a nonselective opioid receptors antagonist at a dose of 100 µg, reverted the antihyperalgesia caused by physical exercise demonstrated in our previous study. Due to the lack of relates regarding the control variables of physical exercise and endogenous modulation in neuropathic diabetic pain, we investigated if such modulation is exercise intensity dependent.
