Influence of Fast and Slow Imagined Muscle Contractions on Muscle Function or Central Nervous System Properties

Study: Impact of Imagined Muscle Contractions on Muscle and Brain Function

Recruiting
18-30 years
All
Phase N/A

This study explores how imagining fast or slow muscle contractions affects muscle and brain function. *Imagined contractions* means you'll think about moving muscles quickly or slowly without actually moving them. This helps us understand the *nervous system*, which includes your brain and nerves that control muscles. You'll participate in four lab visits. During these visits, you'll imagine muscle contractions and have your muscle and brain activity measured using a safe method called *transcranial magnetic stimulation* (TMS). This involves a device placed on your head to see how your brain responds to imagined movements.

Key Points:
  • Four lab visits with no actual physical movement needed.
  • Focus on mental exercises to see how your brain and muscles react.
  • No medications or special treatments involved.

Eligibility: You should be 18-30 years old, healthy, and not on certain medications. If you're female, you must have been on the same birth control for six months. You should also be right-handed and haven't engaged in structured exercise recently.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
