May 23, 2019 updated by: Albert Pérez Bellmunt, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya

Effects of Diacutaneous Fibrolysis Over the Gastrocnemious Neuromuscular Response

The study consists in evaluating the neuromuscular response of the gastrocnemious muscles before and after a diacutaneous fibrolysis over the gastrocnemious muscles.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 40 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Muscle injury in the last two months
  • To not understand the study orders
  • Suffer a musculoskeletal disorder that doesn't allow the subject to do the study protocol

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Delay time change
Time Frame: 4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Time between an electric impulse and 10% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Contraction time change
Time Frame: 4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Time between 10% and 90% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Sustain time change
Time Frame: 4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Relaxation time change
Time Frame: 4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Maximal displacement change
Time Frame: 4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Maximal displacement of the muscle after being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Stiffness change
Time Frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton" (Newtons/metre).
2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Elasticity change
Time Frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Capacity to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton" (logarithmic decrement of a tissue's natural oscillation).
2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Relaxation change
Time Frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton" (miliseconds).
2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gastrocnemious strength change
Time Frame: 8 minutes before the intervention, 1 minute after the intervention and 30 minutes later
Isometric strength of the gastrocnemious muscles using a handheld dynamometer "microFET 2" (newtons).
8 minutes before the intervention, 1 minute after the intervention and 30 minutes later

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
