Hot mineral water baths for rowers' pain and performance
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether bathing in thermal mineral water can reduce pain and improve performance in rowers. It is open to competitive and recreational rowers who train regularly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a rower registered with the Hungarian Rowing Federation.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been training regularly for at least 6 months.
- You do not have acute pain, certain medical conditions, or recent treatments like steroids or physical therapy in the last 3 months.
- You do not have health issues that would make balneotherapy unsafe, such as unstable heart disease or active infections.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether group hydrotherapy (water-based exercise) can help athletes with long-term low back pain. It may be a good fit if you are an active athlete, have had back pain for at least 3 months, and train frequently.
This study tests whether a special training technique called blood flow restriction can help rowers aged 13-20 with mild or recurring back pain. It involves wearing bands on your legs while rowing, which may help you build strength and recover while reducing pain.
This trial tests whether water-based exercise (also called aquatherapy) can help older adults with chronic low back pain move better and feel less afraid of falling. If you qualify, you'll take part in a supervised water exercise program.
This study tests whether soaking in hot springs can help young rowers feel less tired and recover better while training at high altitude. Researchers want to see if the hot water helps the body's natural fatigue-fighting systems work better.
This study tests whether adding hot spring therapy (balneotherapy) to a standard physical therapy program can improve pain and function for people with chronic nerve-related back pain. It may help if you have long-term sciatica-like pain and have not had recent hot spring treatments.
This study tests whether taking hot baths before or after intense exercise helps young track-and-field athletes recover better and triggers natural protective proteins in their muscles. Researchers will measure muscle strength and a cellular protein called HSP70 to see if heat helps the body bounce back from hard workouts.
