Research summary
Pain is a multidimensional, subjective experience, which can have an effect both physically and psychologically. Individuals with chronic pain often report deficits in their mobility and cognitive function is also thought to be affected. Whilst a vast amount of research has been conducted on individuals with chronic or disease specific pain there is very little known about the cognitive and mobility deficit experienced by individuals with everyday pain (pain treatable with Over-the-Counter OTC) medicine).
The primary focus of this exploratory study will be to investigate the effects of everyday pain on cognition and mobility in otherwise healthy individuals. This study will also evaluate the relationship between specific types and intensity of everyday pain with cognitive function and mobility. Finally, the potential effect of an intervention with paracetamol or paracetamol with caffeine on cognitive function and mobility will be studied on an exploratory basis.REC name
