Effects of Acute Pain on Motor Learning in Young vs Older Adults

University of Delaware·interventional·Posted Jul 25, 2022·Updated Dec 10, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating pain delivery for Aging and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

To date, the effects of pain on motor learning have not been thoroughly investigated, particularly in older adults. Broadly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of acute pain on locomotor learning and its retention in older adults. The investigators hypothesize that acute pain impairs retention of locomotor learning in young and older adults and that in older adults, these deficits are worsened and are related to the degree of normal age-related cognitive decline.
