Physiotherapist with a master's and doctoral degree in Oral Physiology, by FOP/UNICAMP. Post doctorate at the Functional and Structural Biology department at IB/UNICAMP and Research Internship Abroad (BPE FAPESP) at the Laboratory of Dr. Kathleen Sluka, University of Iowa, USA. Currently, Dr. Maria Claudia Oliveira Fusaro is coordinator of the Graduate Program in Science of Nutrition, Sports and Metabolism (PPG-CNEM) at FCA/UNICAMP and works as a professor in the courses of Nutrition and Sports Science at the same University. Dr's Oliveira Fusaro laboratory studies the neuroimmunological mechanisms of pain in peripheral tissues and the preventive effects of physical exercise on these processes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Despite the clinical relevance of chronic muscle pain, the mechanisms underlying its chronification are not fully elucidated. Recent experiments of our laboratory demonstrate that acute and chronic inflammatory muscle pain are characterized by an increase in macrophages with a pro-inflammatory phenotype and that in the acute phase, but not in the chronic, there is an increase in IL-1² cyt…
Chronic musculoskeletal pain are a world health problem with high socio-economic impact. Currently, several mechanisms are known that modulate acute muscle pain. However, the mechanisms underlying transition of acute to chronic pain, as well as, the chronicity of pain, are poorly understood. The pharmacological approach is not necessarily efficient to control chronic muscle pain. This is …
Among the kinds of pain that affect people throughout their lives, muscle pain, induced by sustained isometric contraction is one of the most prevalent kinds of pain and has an important socio-economic impact. However, despite their clinical relevance, the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of muscle pain induced by sustained isometric contraction are unknown. This is mainly…
Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a worldwide public health problem with important socioeconomic impact. Nowadays, different modulatory mechanisms of acute muscular pain are already known. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying the transition from acute pain to chronic as well as its maintenance. In chronic pain conditions, pharmacological therapy is not always efficient, …
Muscle pain has an important clinical relevance and regular exercise has been described as a good alternative therapy, not only by reducing pain, but also by the absence of the common side effects of commercially available analgesics. However, it is known that the body adapts to exercise intensity over time and that individuals with chronic pain conditions respond to exercise differently …
Among the kinds of pain that affect people throughout their lives, muscle pain, specially the one induced by sustained isometric contraction, is one of the most prevalent kinds of pain and has an important socio-economic impact. However, despite their clinical relevance, the inflammatory molecular mechanisms involved in the development of muscle pain induced by sustained isometric contrac…

Skeletal muscle has been presented as a highly plastic tissue in response to physical exercise metabolic demands and these effects are relevant for the prevention of several diseases. Little is known about how much physical exercise metabolic adaptations in the skeletal muscle tissue may be related to the resolution of inflammatory pain in the nociceptive primary neurons and prevention of…
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common chronic pain conditions in humans. In most cases the origin of the pain cannot be determined by conventional clinical diagnostic methods (so called non-specific LBP). Data about interventions that could prevent the transition or abolish existing chronic non-specific LBP are rare. The classical treatment for non-specific low back pain is the u…
The chronic musculoskeletal pain is a great public health problem. They affect 47% of population and, because they are associated with muscle fatigue, they induce a decrease in physical activity and the ability to perform the activities of daily living. Although the clinical relevance of chronic muscle pain associated with muscle fatigue, the molecular mechanisms involved with this proces…
