Acute Intermittent Hypoxia Did Not Alter Pain Sensitivity or Pain Intensity Ratings for Individuals with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Pilot Study.

This study, while presenting null findings, describes an initial step in determining whether AIH can be used to increase pain relief. Based on this pilot study we offer guidance for future research including study design, AIH dosage, participant selection, and using AIH in combination with non-pharmacologic treatments.
