目的：这项探索性试点研究的目的是检查运动对成人脑瘫患者疼痛和疲劳的影响。方法：26 名参与者（12 名流动参与者，14 名非流动参与者；10 名男性，16 名女性；平均年龄 42.3 +/- 11.2 岁）参加了一项采用重复测量设计的研究，包括基线、干预和随访阶段，每个阶段各 12 周； 20 名参与者完成了所有阶段。使用的主要结果测量是 FACES 疼痛量表、疼痛身体部位的计数和 PedsQL (TM) 多维疲劳量表。结果：在干预阶段，流动参与者的疼痛和疲劳量表出现了显着的有益变化。然而，在后续阶段，有益的变化逐渐减少。检查的次要结果包括疼痛干扰、日常身体活动和健康相关的生活质量。结论：研究结果表明，运动可能为患有脑瘫的可行走成人提供一些益处。
Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory pilot study was to examine the effect of exercise on pain and fatigue in adults with CP. Method: Twenty-six participants (12 ambulatory, 14 non-ambulatory; 10 males, 16 females; mean age 42.3 +/- 11.2 years) enrolled in a study using a repeated measures design including baseline, intervention and follow-up phases of 12 weeks each; 20 participants completed all phases. Primary outcome measures used were the FACES pain scale, the count of body parts with pain and the PedsQL (TM) Multidimensional Fatigue Scale. Results: Significant beneficial changes were found in the pain and fatigue scales among the ambulatory participants during the intervention phase. However the beneficial changes diminished during the follow-up phase. Secondary outcomes examined included, pain interference, daily physical activity and health-related quality of life. Conclusion: Study outcomes suggest that exercise may provide some benefit for ambulatory adults with CP.
