Testing a non-invasive gadget during hard exercise
This trial tests a wearable device that uses gentle vibrations (haptics) during intense exercise. It aims to see if it can help runners without sticking needles or using drugs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You run more than 2 times a week for fun or competition.
- You can safely run on a treadmill until you're very tired.
- You can come to the lab three times.
- You don't have heart, blood sugar, or muscle problems that stop you from running hard.
- You are not pregnant, don't use performance drugs, and aren't allergic to sticky patches.

This trial tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation treatment (using a small device on the ear) to reduce dangerous heart rhythm problems. It is for people with frequent premature heartbeats (PVCs) or with an implanted defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a fast heart rhythm (VT).
This study tests a new wearable device that uses gentle vibrations (vibrotactile technology) to see if it can change your resting metabolic rate — the number of calories your body burns at rest. It may help with weight management or metabolism.
This study tests how easy it is to use a new device that records your heart's electrical activity through a simple patch on your chest. You will need to use a smartphone app with the patch.
This trial tests whether applying gentle vibrations to your leg muscles during cycling can boost power and muscle activity. You will do a series of cycling tests while the vibration is on or off.
This trial tests and “validates” how well wearable sensors work on the skin in healthy adults. It may help researchers build safer, more reliable wearables—but you would need healthy skin and the ability to do some moderate exercise during the study.
This trial tests a non-surgery treatment (using a skin patch) for people who have frequent extra heartbeats coming from the heart’s lower chambers. It’s meant to see whether the patch reduces symptoms or abnormal heart rhythm compared with usual care.
