Study Summary

This trial aims to study how pain sensitivity changes during different levels of exercise and no treatment in people with knee pain. The researchers will use a new method to determine the intensity of the exercise based on the

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are currently experiencing knee pain with a symptom intensity of at least 3 out of 10 in the past day. It's not suitable for those who don't meet this pain threshold.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how different levels of fatigue during leg extension exercises affect knee pain sensitivity. Participants will undergo high fatigue, low fatigue exercise, or no treatment to see which method best reduces pain.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, typical reactions to resistance exercise may include muscle soreness, temporary increase in joint discomfort or swelling around the knees due to exertion.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: High Fatigue ExerciseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will perform a leg extension exercise in a machine with weight equipment to 65% of their 1-repetition maximum. Participants will complete this exercise for three sets until they report the exercise is "hard" (8/10 on the OMNI perceived exertion scale).
Group II: Quiet RestActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will sit quietly for two minutes, three times. Pressure pain threshold will be measured between each two-minute interval.
Group III: Low Fatigue ExerciseActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will perform a leg extension exercise in a machine with weight equipment to 65% of their 1-repetition maximum. Participants will complete this exercise for three sets until they report the exercise is "somewhat easy" (4/10 on the OMNI perceived exertion scale).
