Researchers from University of Limerick hosted a special event to share experiences from the ComExPain trial, a community-based study focused on supporting older adults living with musculoskeletal pain. Following a public callout, over 90 adults from the Midwest were recruited to take part in this study into chronic pain in older adults, and how exercise can help alleviate this pain. Led by Professor Karen McCreesh, the ComExPain feasibility trial, supported by Chronic Pain Ireland and funded by the Health Research Board, explored how specialised exercise classes delivered in local setting could support older people living with chronic pain. 92 people took part in Yoga, Pilates and Aqua classes delivered by UL-trained trainers from Limerick Sports Partnership. Barriers to being active include fear of how safe it is, lack of skilled support, and a lack of exercise opportunities designed with the needs of people with chronic pain in mind. The aim of this project has been to fill this gap. This event highlighted the importance of community involvement in pain research. The event brought together researchers, participants, and local partners to deliver the findings of the research and to celebrate the work of those who took part. Pictured at the event were, Dr Mairéad Conneely, School of Allied Health, UL and Professor Karen McCreesh, School of Allied Health, UL. Picture: Alan Place
