About this study

Official title: Assessing the Reliability and Influence of Timing of Exercise on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Neuroplasticity Measures

The overall goal of this proposed study is to assess the reliability of plasticity measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) interleaved with intermittent theta-burst stimulation plasticity measures and to assess the influence of an acute bout of aerobic exercise on TMS plasticity measures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in cortical synaptic plasticity

    As measured via Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in mean motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude

    Measured: Baseline, 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess TMS plasticity measures on healthy individuals after an acute bout of exercise

    As measured via Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in mean motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude after an acute bout of aerobic exercise

    Measured: Baseline, 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Short-term aerobic exercise in people with Healthy, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in cortical synaptic plasticity (time frame: Baseline, 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Dec 2021.
