简要总结

Pain can be one of the primary limiting factors to progress following musculoskeletal injury and may be caused by trauma or degenerative changes. There are few exercise rehabilitation interventions able to relieve pain, thereby reducing the number of military personnel fit for operations. Low load blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise has been shown to elicit an analgesic response and promote beneficial physiological changes in a variety of clinical populations.

This two phase study, aims to:

  • Determine the most effective and feasible BFR resistance exercise protocol for reducing pain in UK military patients.
  • Determine the efficacy of an optimal BFR exercise protocol for reducing pain and improving rehabilitation outcomes in UK military patients.
  • Identify key physiological mechanisms underpinning any beneficial effect of BFR exercise on pain.

Consequently, results from this study will have direct clinical application and will aid best practice guidelines for the management of pain across Defence Rehabilitation by influencing the future rehabilitation paradigm. The investigators believe the results and impact will be far reaching, providing invaluable insight and knowledge to the clinical and scientific community to not only those embedded within Defence Rehabilitaion, but also those working in civilian sector organisations and professional sport also.

结局指标

主要结局

Brief Pain Inventory

时间窗: T0, Pre-Admission (Day 0); T3, End of Residential Rehabilitation Week (Day 5 and 10); T4, Post-Intervention/Pre-Course Discharge (Day 15)

The BPI is a patient administered, multi-dimensional, pain assessment tool commonly used within musculoskeletal clinical practice. Higher scores on the 9- item short form indicate greater interference with function, or greater pain intensity.
