Pain exacerbation following physical activity in adults with diabetic neuropathy: Ecological momentary assessment of foot symptoms.
Australian Journal of General Practice 2024 March
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: People with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) report fluctuating foot symptoms. This study used ecological momentary assessment to: (1) compare foot symptoms between days, time points and periods with/without preceding physical activity or pain medication; and (2) determine relationships between symptoms and endogenous pain modulation.
METHOD: Ten low-active Australian adults with probable DPN underwent temporal summation of pain (TSP) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) then completed mobile phone surveys five times daily for seven days, where they recorded the intensity of six foot symptoms and whether they performed physical activity or consumed pain medication in the preceding three hours. RESULTS: All foot symptoms except numbness were greater in periods following physical activity, whereas periods following pain medication showed greater shooting pain. TSP showed very large correlations with sensitivity to touch, burning pain, shooting pain and prickling/tingling. DISCUSSION: General practitioners should be aware that physical activity might exacerbate symptoms of DPN when encouraging their patients to be active.
