Tokyo, Oct. 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000063049) titled 'The Acute Effects of Physical Therapy on the Viscoelasticity of Skeletal Muscle' on Oct. 1.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Placebo

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Sapporo Medical University

Condition: Condition - Healthy adults Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - This study examines the effects of thermal and cold stimuli on muscle elasticity and viscosity. The objective is to determine whether it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle conditioning that involves temperature manipulation based on muscle elasticity and viscosity. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - A single session of thermal stimulation is administered. The stimulation method uses one of the following: a bath, a pressurized circulation system (GAME READY Med4 Elite, Avanos Medical), an ultrasound therapy device (UST-770, Ito Ultrashort Wave), radiofrequency (Physio Radio Stim PRO, Sakai Medical), or a hot pack (MHR-2f, Minato Medical Science). The stimulation intensity is set appropriately with the goal of changing the skin temperature at the target site by approximately 4 degrees over a 15-minute period. Interventions/Control_2 - A single cold stimulus is administered. The stimulus method uses one of the following: a bath, a pressurized circulation system (GAME READY Med4 Elite, Avanos Medical), ice, or a clicker (PE-50, Takachih Medical). The stimulation intensity is set appropriately with the goal of changing the skin temperature at the target site by approximately 4 degrees over a 15-minute period.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Healthy adults aged 18 to 35 Individuals who have provided written consent to participate in the study Key exclusion criteria - Individuals currently experiencing sensory disturbances Individuals with implanted medical devices, such as metal implants or pacemakers, resulting from surgery or other procedures Target Size - 20

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 09 Month 25 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 12 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2030 Year 03 Month 31 Day
