Low Back Pain Slows Reaction Time After Fatigue

A new study in *Frontiers in Sports & Active Living* found that people with chronic low back pain (cLBP) have significantly prolonged reaction times after muscle fatigue, compared to healthy individuals. Researchers measured total reaction time (TRT) and premotor time (PMT) in 24 cLBP patients and 22 healthy controls, linking pain to slower neuromuscular response. The lead author was Dr. Dong-Hui Yang.
