Tokyo, July 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062078) titled 'Exploratory Study of Physiological Responses to Transvertebral Magnetic Stimulation' on July 1.
Study Type:
Interventional
Study Design:
Basic Design - Single arm
Randomization - Non-randomized
Blinding - Open -no one is blinded
Control - Self control
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Okayama University Hospital
Condition:
Condition - Healthy adults and patients with neurological disorders
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - The objective of this study is to exploratorily evaluate physiological responses, including motor, sensory, and autonomic responses, induced by transvertebral magnetic stimulation in healthy adults and patients with neurological disorders, and to investigate the relationship between stimulation parameters, such as stimulation site, intensity, direction, and frequency, and the elicited biological responses.
Basic objectives2 - Others
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - Transvertebral magnetic stimulation will be performed as the main intervention, with transcutaneous electrical stimulation added when necessary. The participation period for each participant will be up to 30 weeks from the date of informed consent to the final assessment. Experimental sessions involving stimulation will be conducted up to 24 times per participant, generally no more than once per week. Each experimental session will last up to approximately 3 hours, including preparation, rest, and assessments before and after stimulation. In each session, transvertebral magnetic stimulation will be performed at rest and/or during voluntary motor tasks, and stimulation parameters such as intensity, frequency, stimulation site, and stimulation direction will be set exploratorily within a range that ensures participant safety. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation may be combined when necessary, and assessments such as electromyography, motion analysis, muscle strength assessment, sensory assessment, autonomic nervous system assessment, and transcranial magnetic stimulation-based evaluation will be performed.
Eligibility:
