Electric therapy for muscle recovery in athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of electric therapy called CRET to see if it helps athletes recover their muscles faster. It may be an option for serious athletes who train and compete at high levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an athlete in a sport that uses short, intense energy bursts (like cycling, running, triathlon, crossfit, spinning, or duathlon).
- You must be a registered athlete and train at least 4 days a week.
- You must currently compete in regional, national, or international events.
- You cannot have a sports injury that would keep you from doing the test.
- You cannot have received this specific electric therapy (CRET) before.
- You cannot be allergic to the conductive cream used in the therapy, or be on certain medications that could interfere with results.

This study compares two recovery methods—TECAR therapy (a heating treatment) and cycling—to see which helps young athletes recover better after jumping exercises. The goal is to understand which approach reduces fatigue and helps athletes bounce back faster.
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 trial tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can improve how well athletes perform and recover. It may help if you are an active person who works out regularly and competes in events.
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 tests if TECAR therapy, a type of heat treatment, can help prepare your muscles before exercise and speed up recovery afterwards. It is for physically active men without recent leg injuries.
This trial tests whether Tecar therapy—a type of heat treatment using electrical energy—can help heal calf muscle strains in athletes aged 16–39. The study measures whether this therapy, combined with exercise, reduces pain and restores function.
