Active clinical trials for "Myalgia"

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.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is associated with the initiation of a new physical activity or a sudden increase in exercise volume and intensity. DOMS also occurs following eccentric exercises such as ballistic stretching, downhill running, weight training and plyometrics. DOMS might prevent performing sports and decreases the performance of professional or recreational athletes. Recently, different soft tissue mobilization applications (massage, foam roller) have been preferred by many athletes to prevent DOMS. However, there is no study comparing the effects of these techniques on DOMS. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of different soft tissue mobilization practices on DOMS and sportive performance in recreational athletes. In order to achieve this goal, a total of 36 recreational athletes will be included and will be allocated to three groups as foam roller group (n=12), massage group (n=12) and control group (n=12). Demographic data, thermal camera measurements, fatigue level assessments, and performance measurements will be performed. All measurements will be carried out four times as before the application, immediately after the application, after 24 hours and after 48 hours.

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 .

The aim of the present research is to define the effects of short manual treatment of soft tissues compared to mechanisms explaining in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) among sport climbers and to address the mechanisms of peripheral and central sensitization involved in DOMS phenomena.

Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique which generates good results and neuromuscular benefits. Its application involves a highly prevalent effect called post-needling soreness. It is defined as a residual pain, located in the incision area, with a self-limiting period of 24-72 hours, as a result of a physiological process generated by the technique. So far, different clinical trials have been carried out to measure the effectiveness of several techniques for reducing post-needling soreness, reaching positive results. However, no studies have been found with the aim of distinguish which method is more effective for this goal; therefore, it is clear the need to continue investigating on the subject and comparing these techniques among them.

The objective of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of personalized thermoformed occlusal splints together with behavioral and self-care therapy in the management of myalgia of the masticatory muscles. A controlled clinical trial was carried out with a total of 46 subjects diagnosed with myalgia according to the diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC / TMD). All subjects were treated with behavioral and self-care therapy (BST) at the beginning of the study, and were then randomized into 4 groups: behavioral and self-care control group; rigid occlusal splint group; soft occlusal splint group and non-occlusive splint group. Follow-ups were carried out at 2, 6 and 10 weeks, where it was evaluated: pain in the masticatory muscles, mandibular range of motion, mandibular functional limitation and occlusal discomfort.

This study investigated the effects of CarnipureTM, a high-quality L-carnitine ingredient, on long term (5 weeks) recovery, muscle damage, and SOD status in a population of males and females while training two days per week. The primary outcomes defining recovery were changes in serum creatine kinase levels and perceptual changes in recovery. Supporting variables included an assessment of strength and power as a functional indicator of recovery. This study would be the first to examine the effects of CarnipureTM on long-term recovery. Our primary hypothesis was that L-carnitine supplementation would reduce muscle damage and improve perceptual measures of recovery. Our secondary hypotheses were that L-carnitine supplementation would better sustain strength and power and elevate SOD status.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of psychological aspects, selected blood parameters, pain, central sensitization, and muscle electromyography activity in patients with chronic masticatory muscle pain.

smartphones have replaced most of the keypad phone products due to their small size and easy of portability. As a result, smartphone users experience an increase in musculoskeletal problems in the neck and shoulder. Therefore, the importance of exercise and proper training should be emphasized for people who are likely to develop postural deformities due to incorrect posture habits and daily living patterns

This study propose investigate the effect of cryotherapy and laser therapy in response to strenuous exercise-induced muscle damage on the biceps brachii muscle (muscle of the arms). All the individuals underwent to an strenuous exercise protocol (2 series of 10 contractions of non-dominant elbow flexors) and three assessments (pre, post and 48hr after the exercise), composed of pain sensation, measure of the strength and muscle activation.
