Muscle soreness study for competitive athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at delayed muscle soreness in athletes who train hard. It may help find better ways to manage soreness after exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have placed in the top 3 in a provincial competition

This study checks whether Kinesio tape changes how sore your muscles feel after workouts. You may help researchers learn if the tape reduces “delayed onset muscle soreness” after upper-body activity.
This trial tests three recovery techniques (shockwave therapy, TECAR/diathermy, and cupping) to see which works best for reducing pain and improving muscle function after exercise. If you are a healthy athlete between 18 and 35, this study might help you recover faster and perform better.
This study compares two methods to help muscles recover after exercise: pneumatic compression (like a gentle massage sleeve) versus blood flow restriction (using a cuff). It aims to find which works better for healthy, active young adults.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement for 5 weeks can reduce muscle soreness after exercise. If you exercise regularly and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if combined electromagnetic stimulation helps athletes recover faster and feel better after intense exercise. It focuses on men who exercise regularly and have muscle soreness after workouts.
This trial compares cold water and warm water immersion to see which helps recover from muscle soreness after exercise. If you are a healthy young man with moderate muscle pain from working out, this study may help you recover faster.
