Our new paper is out! @ghasemloulab.bsky.social

The cover art was created by @quanamadison.bsky.social
inspired by her own experiences with chronic pain. It all started with a chat at the back of a taxi while at @napainschool.bsky.social and ended up with a beautiful piece of art.

Journal of Clinical Investigation @jci.org · 7d

This issue’s cover art represents the potential for improving pain relief by restoring circadian rhythmicity

@ghasemloulab.bsky.social & team link daily pain rhythmicity with neutrophil activation, better biopsychosocial profiles, & reduced opioid use: buff.ly/GR3SOAK

Our paper is now out in @elife.bsky.social: Acute aerobic exercise intensity does not modulate pain potentially due to differences in fitness levels and sex effects: results from a pharmacological fMRI study (with @christianbuchel.bsky.social and Tahmine Fadai). Read it here: doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Acute aerobic exercise intensity does not modulate pain potentially due to differences in fitness levels and sex effects: results from a pharmacological fMRI study

Exercise intensity alone does not differentially reduce pain, but individual factors like fitness level and sex, along with opioid mechanisms, may influence exercise-induced pain relief.
