NCT ID: NCT06413524 Not yet recruiting - COPD Clinical Trials

The Effects of Different Vibration Exercises on COPD Patients

Start date: May 21, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training. COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients.

NCT ID: NCT06185231 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

Investigation of the Effects of Vibration Therapy on Pain, Functionality, and Proprioception After ACL Injury

Start date: September 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Over the past decade, vibration therapy has gained popularity. This treatment involves the transmission of vibration either through whole-body vibration (WBV) platforms or by applying local vibration (LV) directly to the muscles or tendons. In the context of ACLR (anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction), it has been reported that a single session of either WBV or LV, applied while patients maintain a squatting position, acutely improves the strength of the Quadriceps muscle when applied 50 months post-surgery, possibly by reducing arthrogenic muscle inhibition. Another study tested whether local vibration training (LVT) in the early post-ACLR phase (first 10 weeks) could improve strength recovery and found that LVT enhances strength regain after ACLR. This feasibility study demonstrates that LVT applied to relaxed muscles is a promising method of vibration therapy that can be applied early in ACLR. Compared to traditional massage, vibration therapy may also improve strength parameters. Percussion massage therapy is a new method that combines elements of traditional massage and vibration therapy. In the literature, there is a lack of scientific evidence on how and to what extent percussion massage therapy affects range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength. To date, only one conference paper has investigated the effects of a handheld percussion massage therapy device, and they found no change in vertical jump height after a 5-minute percussion massage therapy session applied to several lower body muscle groups." A review of the literature reveals that to date, there has been no study investigating the effects of manually applied percussion massage therapy on pain, functionality, and proprioception in cases who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to examine the effects of percussion massage therapy on pain, joint range of motion, joint position sense, muscle diameter, balance parameters, and functionality in patients who have undergone surgery following an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

NCT ID: NCT06139263 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

The Effect of Vibration Therapy on Pain, Functionality and Proprioception in İndividuals With Cervical Disc Herniation

Start date: October 20, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aimed to examine the effects of vibration applied at different frequencies with a percussion massage gun on joint range of motion, pain, functionality and kinesiophobia in individuals with cervical disc herniation.All individuals participating in the study will receive a conventional treatment program. In the conventional treatment program, heat will be applied to the neck area for 20 minutes and TENS (100 Hz) will be applied to the painful area. Additionally, patients will be given joint range of motion (ROM) exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Vibration Group Vibration application will be applied to the individuals in this group in addition to conventional methods. Vibration application will be applied to the trapezius, levator scapula and cervical paravertebral muscles with a percussion massage gun (Compex Fix 2.0) along the origo-insersio line for 3 minutes for each muscle group. Vibration application will be made with the soft head of the percussion massage gun. Vibration therapy will be applied 3 days a week for 3 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT04180267 Recruiting - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

RCT of Vibration Effect on Vertebral BMD in Disabled Patients

Start date: January 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Osteoporosis is an age-related disease with progressive loss of bone, leading to fragile bone. It is one of the major health issues in elderly and causes medical, social and economic impacts globally. Patients with osteoporosis have high risk of osteoporotic fractures. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) is a non-invasive biophysical intervention providing whole-body mechanical stimulation. Previous studies showed that LMHFV is beneficial to muscle strength(1), postural control(2), balancing ability(3, 4), new bone formation(5-7), spinal bone mineral density (BMD)(8), and blood circulation(9). During the LMHFV treatment, elderly needs to stand upright on the platform for 20min/day. However, some elderlies with poor standing ability cannot stand for a long period. Therefore, the design of vibration platform is modified for the disabled patients and the efficacy of LMHFV on this group of elderlies will be verified. It is hypothesized that new design of LMHFV is beneficial to wheelchair users in terms of vertebral bone mineral density, muscle health and musculoskeletal functions.

NCT ID: NCT02499809 Completed - Vibration Therapy Clinical Trials

The Effects of Vibration Therapy as a Recovery Tool After Intense Exercise

Start date: August 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

High intensity exercise can lead to muscle damage, resulting in muscle soreness, swelling and reduction in muscle strength. If the recovery is not sufficient or efficient it can increase the risk for injury and decrease the ability of the athlete to perform repetitive exercise and maintain overall performance. There are a variety of recovery aids which are being used by athletes, such as: the use of compression garments, massage, cold water immersion, sauna etc. Additional recovery strategy currently growing in popularity is the application of vibration. The evidences regarding the benefits of vibration therapy as a recovery aid are limited, specifically in athlete. Therefore, the proposed study will examine the use of vibration therapy as a recovery tool. The efficacy of this technique will be measure using functional and field tests.
