简要总结
A randomized controlled trial comparing the immediate effects of upper limb low-load blood flow restriction training (BFRT) with high load sham-BFRT on hypoalgesia and perceptual response in healthy adults
详细描述
Healthy individuals will be randomized to one of two groups. A target of 40 patients for enrollment has been set for 80% power, p<0.05 (Effect size= 1). A single Intervention will be used (40 minutes).
Intervention Group: A single exercise of elbow flexion with Blood Flow Restriction (30-15-15-15 reps) using 30% of 1 Repetition Maximum.
Control Group: A single exercise of elbow flexion with sham Blood Flow Restriction (4x10 reps) using 65% of 1 Repetition Maximum.
Primary outcome: pressure pain thresholds on quadriceps, biceps, lateral epicondyle and upper trapezius (bilateral).
Secondary outcomes: difference in perceptual response (exertion), change in blood pressure

结局指标
主要结局
Pressure pain threshold
时间窗: Baseline and 30 minutes
Changes between pre- and post- intervention in Pressure Pain Threshold will be measured using bilateral sites on quadriceps, upper trapezius, lateral epicondyle and biceps. The COMPACT DIGITAL ALGOMETER CAPACITIES TO: 100 lbf / 50 kgf / 500 N, will be used by an independent assessor. The assessor will be blinded to participants' group.
次要结局
- Rating of perceived exertion(At the end of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th set ( after 1, 2, 3 and 4 minutes respectively))
- Blood pressure(Baseline and 30 minutes)
