Dehydration Hypertonic clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Effects of Dehydration on Neuromuscular Performance and Sympathetic Control of Cardiovascular Function

Start date: October 31, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The mechanism(s) by which dehydration (both intra- and extracellular) impairs performance are still poorly described. A loss of volume results in increased occurrence of orthostatic intolerance, including dizziness, fatigue, headaches and related symptoms with upright posture. Any of these symptoms can contribute to decreased performance in maneuvers performed in the upright posture, which includes many military tasks. Thus, loss of volume challenges the cardiovascular and blood pressure responses to systemic whole body endurance exercise, while osmolality is the stimulus for intracellular dehydration that may impair local muscle force production by impairing contractile function, neural signaling, or both. In this study, we will compare how both types of dehydration affect MSNA and CAC. The results of this study will provide mechanistic insight for how dehydration (intra- or extracellular) impairs systemic whole body and local small muscle performance in vivo. This Basic Science study seeks to understand how volume and osmolality impact MSNA and CAC as a basis for improving potential countermeasures, such as a more optimally formulated rehydration beverage. Therefore, this study directly complements Task Area T10 (Hot Weather Operations and Hydration: Injury and Performance Optimization) and impacts virtually all 14 Military Operational Medicine Research Program Drivers.
