About this study

Official title: Could the Bone-Myoregulation Reflex Explain the Development of Sarcopenia in Postmenopausal and Senile Osteoporosis?

Bone and skeletal muscle are in a single unit that interacts with each other structurally and functionally. The aim of this study is to determine the contribution of bone myoregulation reflex as a neuronal crosstalk mechanism on the development of sarcopenia in postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis

Read the detailed description

Bone and skeletal muscle are in a single unit that interacts with each other structurally and functionally. While myokines synthesized and released in skeletal muscle modulate the bone formation and destruction process, osteokines synthesized and released by bone cells have positive or negative effects on muscle (4,5,6,7,8,9). In addition to humoral crosstalk mechanisms between muscle and bone, there is also a neuronal crosstalk mechanism defined as bone myoregulation reflex. The aim of this study is to determine the contribution of bone myoregulation reflex as a neuronal crosstalk mechanism on the development of sarcopenia in postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis (10,11,12,13,14). Osteoporotic cases would be determined by standard DXA measurements.

The vibration will be applied with the PowerPlate® Pro5 whole-body vibration (London UK) device. The vibration amplitude will be 2 mm. The vibration frequency will be 30, 33, and 36 Hz. Each vibration frequency will be applied for 45 seconds. A 5-second rest period will be applied between vibrations of 45 seconds.

Surface EMG recordings will be taken from the right soleus muscle using the bipolar technique. A pair of self-adhesive Ag/AgCl (Redline®) electrodes will be adhered to the skin according to the SENIAM protocol(2). Recordings will be taken in the 1-500 Hz frequency band. Surface electromyography (EMG) recordings will be taken with a PowerLab ® (ADInstruments, Oxford, UK) data recorder with a sample rate of 20 KHz. EMG recordings will be analyzed offline with LabChart7 Pro® version 7.3.8 (ADInstruments, Oxford, UK). The acceleration measurement data will be recorded with the PowerLab (ADInstrument London) data acquisition simultaneously with the EMG recording. Acceleration recording will be made with a sample rate of 20 KHz.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • whole-body vibration to ControlDevice

    Whole-body vibration (WBV) will be applied while standing upright. During this position, he will be asked not to voluntarily contract the calf muscles and to remain relaxed. The vibration will be applied with the PowerPlate® Pro5 WBV (London UK) device. The vibration amplitude will be 2 mm. The vibration frequency will be 30, 33, and 36 Hz. Each vibration frequency will be applied for 45 seconds. A 5-second rest period will be applied between vibrations of 45 seconds.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone myoregulation reflex latency

    It was defined as the period between the onset of effective mechanical stimulation and the onset of the reflex in surface electromyography.

    Measured: up to 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis, run by Istanbul Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 11 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 17 Jan 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Bone myoregulation reflex latency (time frame: up to 2 weeks). 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 NCT06017245, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 17 Jan 2024.
