Contracture of Muscle, Thigh Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy in Reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness in Marathon Runners. A Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Study.
Delayed onset muscle soreness is defined as the sensition of pain and discomfort in skeletal muscles that occurs after eccentric muscle actions or strenuous exercise like a marathon.
There is a growing body of clinical evidence which shows that noninvasive, nonpharmacologic
pulsed electromagnetic fields have many clinical effects. Pulsed electromagnetic fields have
shown to reduce pain in different groups of patients. This concerns patients with
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, distal radius
fractures, pelvic pain and postoperative patients.
A marathon is a muscular strain. Physiologic effects of a marathon involves muscular and
connective tissue damage which initiates an inflammatory response as well as release of
metabolic factors like lactate and free radicals, intracellular metabolites and by-products
of proteolysis.
The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic fields
compared to placebo in reducing delayed onset muscle soreness in marathon runners.
