7 Tesla MRI Study in Patients With Statin Related Muscle Complaints
Statin-related Muscle PainMuscle Aches3 moreRoughly 5-10% of statin-treated patients report muscle pain, aches, weakness, cramps, stiffness, or "heaviness" - typically occurring symmetrically in the legs. For healthcare providers, the major diagnostic challenge is to unambiguously link these symptoms to statin use, especially since some patients can have normal serum creatine kinase (CK) levels despite demonstrable weakness and muscle biopsy proven statin-induced myopathy . No well accepted, standardized, or Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-endorsed diagnostic method exists for statin-induced muscle injury. This lack of an objective diagnostic methodology blocks vertical advancement of the field. The successful completion of this project will develop in vivo techniques that will provide insight into how statins affect muscle metabolism and help establish a methodology to objectively diagnose muscle injury due to statins. The development of an MRS technique will allow for in-vivo analyses and the data accumulated here will serve as preliminary data for futher extramural funding of studies with much larger sample sizes. Ultimately, this focus of research will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of patients with statin-related muscle complaints, which is central to obtaining the cardiovascular risk reduction from lipid-lowering drugs.

Musculoskeletal PainMusculoskeletal InjuryThis study evaluates the use of short-wave diathermy (SWD) as an novel experimental model to induce transient and intensity-controlled muscle pain by heating muscle tissue.
Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Effects of CHI-202 to Support Recovery From Physical...
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)The study is designed as a proof of concept, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of CHI-202 (cannabinoids and other ingredients) compared to placebo in the treatment of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
Effects of Ginger on Muscle Soreness and Dysfunction Stemming From Downhill Running
Muscle SorenessThe objective of the study is to determine whether five days of ginger (Zingiber officinale) supplementation is effective at reducing muscle soreness and improving muscle function following downhill running. Long-distance running is often associated with acute muscle pain, swelling, and reduced muscle functioning, and consequently, many runners utilize non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). NSAID use is associated with gastrointestinal side-effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea, dyspepsia, asymptomatic ulcers, and symptomatic ulcers that, although rare, can be fatal. Ginger is a botanical compound that is Generally Recognized as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Evidence from osteoarthritis, dysmenorrhea, and resistance-training models indicate that ginger is effective at reducing general pain and muscle soreness. Therefore, this study will supplement 60 runners with roughly 1.5 g/day of ginger root or a placebo for 2 days prior to, the day of, and 2 days after downhill running. Participants will be evaluated for muscle soreness and function before and after the downhill run.
Accelerating Post-exercise Muscle Glycogen Resynthesis in Humans: Impact of Combined Nutrient Intake...
Muscle RecoveryMuscle Soreness1 moreTo determine if modalities designed to improve blood flow combined with post-exercise nutrient intake will improve replenishment of muscle glycogen better than nutrient intake alone. A secondary objective is to compare the effectiveness of heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression on glycogen replenishment.
