Description

Sarah Guldberg and five co-workers wrote a 2026 study on what predicts muscle pain made in a lab test. Soreness after hard exercise varies a lot between people. The team asked if pain sense tests and mind traits explain that spread. They studied a small group of healthy adults at a starting visit.

Checks covered distress, sleep, pain outlook and several pain thresholds. Soreness was then triggered with hard calf raises. Over the next three days, people rated pain while using the muscle. A model with pressure threshold, pain build-up and mood symptoms explained about a third of peak pain spread. Sleep did not mediate the pain.
