About this study

Observational study to evaluate acute cardiopulmonary effects of oscillatory whole body vibration (WBV) on healthy individuals analysed in non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX).

Read the detailed description

Oscillatory whole-body vibration (WBV) is a novel exercise modality, which is performed on a vibrating platform that moves in sinusoidal oscillations, and during which static and dynamic exercises can be performed. Rapid movements of the platform lead to muscle spindle reflexes, which result in reflectory contraction of muscle groups and thus promote gain of muscle strength and power. The most efficient vibration rate enhancing muscle function is assumed to be ∼20 Hz, leading to constant muscle contraction and anaerobic metabolism of the affected muscle fibres. As a consequence, lactate liberation serves as a stimulus for muscle gain.This methodology has been successfully utilised to enhance moving velocity, muscle power and strength in young athletes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease though not been understood in all details. Therefore this investigation will help to evaluate acute cardiopulmonary effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on healthy individuals analysed in non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Cardiopulmonary Effects, run by Klinikum der Universität Köln at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Felix Gerhardt, MD (+4922147889413, felix.gerhardt@uk-koeln.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peak VO2 in mililiter (time frame: one day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04162054, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jan 2020.
