Filter by:The study will assess the recovery and performance of young athletes suffering from muscle damage induced by physical exercise. Model by comparing the safety and efficacy of ReWin(d) supplemention during 4 weeks to placebo over 72 hours post exercice.
Basal measurements are taken in relation to the study variables. Immediately subjects perform eccentric exercise on right hamstrings to develop delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Measurements of the study variables are taken in the same conditions 48, 96 and 168 hours after the exercise to study the evolution of the variables while recovering from DOMS.
Investigation of the biomechanical response in delayed onset muscle soreness using dry needling vs. sham
Myofascial pain syndrome thought to be the main cause of neck pain and shoulder muscle tenderness in the working population is characterized by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). This study aimed to examine the immediate and short-term effect of the combination of two therapeutic techniques for improving neck pain and muscle tenderness in patients with upper trapezius Myofascial Trigger points.
This research is being done to explore the potential benefit of a physical therapist-guided stretching program on musculoskeletal pain and well-being.
The primary aim this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effects of preemptive intravenous paracetamol and ibuprofen on headache and myalgia, and secondary aim is to evaluate the effects on hemodynamics, duration of seizure and postoperative side effects in patients who underwent electroconvulsive therapy .
Pistachios are an understudied and often unappreciated functional food. While nuts in general have received somewhat more attention for their nutritional properties from researchers, practitioners and the media, pistachios often seem to be overlooked. Meanwhile, pistachios appear to possess characteristics that suggest that they are likely to impart benefits that are equal to and perhaps above and beyond those of average nuts. We intend to explore the potential impacts of pistachios on recovery from rigorous exercise in well-trained athletes. We hypothesize that feeding 1.5 oz of pistachios will improve exercise recovery as determined by a reduction in delayed onset muscle soreness and suppression of markers of muscle damage, inflammation and oxidative stress in comparison to water and that the benefits will be greater with consumption of 3.0 oz of pistachios.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), otherwise known as Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is an under-recognized disorder whose cause is not yet understood. Suggested theories behind the pathophysiology of this condition include autoimmune causes, an inciting viral illness, and a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system caused by a small fiber polyneuropathy. Symptoms include fatigue, cognitive impairments, gastrointestinal changes, exertional dyspnea, and post-exertional malaise. The latter two symptoms are caused in part by abnormal cardiopulmonary hemodynamics during exercise thought to be due to a small fiber polyneuropathy. This manifests as low biventricular filling pressures throughout exercise seen in patients undergoing an invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (iCPET) along with small nerve fiber atrophy seen on skin biopsy. After diagnosis, patients are often treated with pyridostigmine (off-label use of this medication) to enhance cholinergic stimulation of norepinephrine release at the post-ganglionic synapse. This is thought to improve venoconstriction at the site of exercising muscles, leading to improved return of blood to the heart and increasing filling of the heart to more appropriate levels during peak exercise. Retrospective studies have shown that noninvasive measurements of exercise capacity, such as oxygen uptake, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and ventilatory efficiency, improve after treatment with pyridostigmine. To date, there are no studies that assess invasive hemodynamics after pyridostigmine administration. It is estimated that four million people suffer from ME/CFS worldwide, a number that is thought to be a gross underestimate of disease prevalence. However, despite its potential for debilitating symptoms, loss of productivity, and worldwide burden, the pathophysiology behind ME/CFS remains unknown and its treatment unclear. By evaluating the exercise response to cholinergic stimulation, this study will shed further light on the link between the autonomic nervous system and cardiopulmonary hemodynamics, potentially leading to new therapeutic targets.
The aim of the study is to examine symptomatology, quantitative sensory test (QST) parameters, muscle tenderness and muscle hardness in migraine patients interictally and compare with healthy controls
This study seeks to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CT38, an experimental peptide administered by subcutaneous infusion, in the treatment of ME/CFS patients.
