What is it about?
This study is to evaluate the effect of nonstrenuous aerobic exercise on chronic masticatory myalgia (CMM) patients and healthy controls (HC) by means of mechanical temporal summation (TS) and response to mechanical stimulation (RMS) performed on the dominant forearm

Why is it important?
Our findings suggest that, compared to HC, CMM patients' pain modulation is both suppressed and has a different effect duration and timing pattern.
Perspectives
Working on this publication was a great pleasure as it was my master’s thesis. The author of this article was my mentor and one of the co-author is her mentor, who developed this exercise-induced hypoalgesia model at our school.
