With respect to
neuropathic pain, several studies suggest that physical
activity could have a positive influence on impaired sensory
function [14,59-61]. It has been shown in animals
that treadmill running has positive effects on nerve regeneration
and functional recovery after peripheral nerve
injuries [62,63], which are known to cause neuropathic
pain [64]. Further literature shows that physical activity
can also reduce musculoskeletal pain [65,66].
