Mouse study links intermittent fasting to lower chronic pain signs
Key Takeaways
- Researchers used mouse models of chronic pain to test alternate-day fasting over 38 days.
- Fasting was associated with lower pain sensitivity and, in one model, less anxiety-like behavior.
- The study also found gut microbe changes, stronger gut barrier signs, and reduced neuroinflammation.
- The findings are promising for mechanism research but remain far from clinical proof in humans.
