简要总结
Introduction. Variables such as pain and strength can be modified in the short and medium term by the application of currents. The percutaneous form of percutaneous needle-guided acupuncture can eliminate the impedance of the surrounding tissues that limit the optimal diffusion of the current to the target tissue. It is necessary to objectify the metabolic response of this technique and its effects in terms of strength and metabolic response.
Objective. To evaluate the safety and efficacy, in acute and subacute phases, of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in healthy subjects.
Method. Single-blind randomised clinical study. Thirty-two subjects will be recruited and randomised to the experimental and control groups. The intervention in the experimental group will consist of a percutaneous percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of the femoral nerve, while in the control group the same intervention will be performed without increasing the intensity of the current. The primary variable will be vertical jump height (My Jump® iOS app) and the secondary variable will be skin temperature (Hikmicro M60 model Hangzhou).

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental group
The intervention of the experimental group will consist of an intervention by performing percutaneous echo-guided electrical nerve stimulation of the femoral nerve.
干预措施: Experimental (percutaneous echo-guided electrical nerve stimulation) (Other)
Control
The intervention of the control group will be carried out in the same way as in the experimental intervention, but without increasing the intensity of the current.
干预措施: Control (placebo) group (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline jump height after warming, treatment and at 1 and 24 hours
时间窗: Baseline, within the first seven days after warming, treatment and after 1 and 24 hours follow-up visit
Using the My Jump® application (iOS app), the jump height is evaluated. This tool measures the time in the air (in milliseconds), indirectly assessing the height of the jump (in centimetres). This tool has shown a high reliability in the evaluation of counter movement jump. The unit of measurement is centimetres (cm), where the higher the centimetres, the higher the jump height.
次要结局
- Change from baseline muscle power after warming, treatment and at 1 and 24 hours(Baseline, within the first seven days after warming, treatment and after 1 and 24 hours follow-up visit)
