Learn More About PowerSolarplast Supplements for Muscle Injury
Kent, Ohio
The primary goal of this investigation is to assess whether Solarplast (R) supplementation will improve recovery following heavy resistance exercise in active adults. The primary questions to be addressed are:
Does Solarplast (R) decrease muscle damage and inflammation associated with heavy resistance exercise?
Does Solarplast (R) reduce the decline in performance associate with heavy resistance exercise?
Researchers will compare Solarplast (R) to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if Solarplast (R) is effective at improving recovery.
Participants will be asked to:
Take Solarplast (R) or placebo daily for 4 weeks
Visit the laboratory at least once per week to receive their supplement
Report to the lab for 3 consecutive visits following supplementation to complete a heavy resistance training session and follow-up testing.

Hormone Therapy for Musculoskeletal Health
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Non-combat-related muscle, tendon and bone injuries are the most common injuries suffered by military personnel, particularly in new recruits. These injuries impact military readiness and are responsible for roughly 60% of limited duty days, 65% of soldiers who are unable to deploy, and nearly $500 million in medical cost to the government annually in the Army alone. Drug interventions must be studied and developed to prevent these negative outcomes and prepare military personnel for the demands of military service. At the current time, military leadership has identified critical gaps in understanding how to minimize these injuries and train soldiers with drug intervention serving among those gaps.
The goal of this study is to determine how a hormonal intervention can change muscle, tendon, and bone function as well as physical and psychological performance in response to mental and physical stress. To do so, we will examine sex hormone (testosterone, estrogen) levels, muscle, tendon, and bone images, blood samples, and physical and mental performance. We will look at things like changes in hormone levels, chemicals released from active skeletal muscles, and your body composition. The results from this study will be used to improve physical readiness training in the military with the goal of reducing injuries.

Digital vs Traditional Ankle Foot Orthoses for Muscular Weakness
Mississauga, Ontario
The research is being done to compare two methods of creating AFOs: 1. The traditional method, which involves manually creating a mold from a plaster cast of the client's limb. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and 2. The newer method uses digital technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, to design and produce the AFOs, potentially making the process faster and less costly. We want to know whether AFOs made using digital technology can provide the same clinical benefits as those made traditionally.

Combined Neuromodulation Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury
Toronto, Ontario
Many people with partial damages in their spinal cord (iSCI) have physical impairments such as muscle paralysis in legs which make standing balance difficult. Poor balance control often leads to falls, injuries, and hospitalization. Therefore, improvement of standing balance is an important therapeutic goal for these individuals. Our team has shown that a therapy called visual feedback training (VFT) can improve standing balance by allowing individuals with iSCI to actively participate and follow visual feedback of their body sway on a screen like a computer game. We have also found that the application of low-energy electrical pulses to weak muscles called functional electrical stimulation (FES) during VFT can enhance the training effects. Recently, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) has been discussed as a promising technique to further promote the rehabilitation effects after SCI by enhancing the connectivity between the brain and spinal cord and within the spinal pathways. However, to date, the potential of combining the two techniques (TSCS+FES) to improve the standing balance remains unknown. In this study, through the completion of a clinical trial, we will investigate the effects of an intervention that combines lumbar TSCS with FES of ankle muscles during VFT on the functional and neurophysiological outcomes in individuals living with iSCI. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive combined TSCS with FES or FES alone during VFT for 12 training sessions over 4 weeks. We expect that the new therapy would further improve balance and strengthen the neural connections between the brain and muscles. The expected changes in the neural connections will be measured by recording electrical signals from the lower limb muscles following stimulation of the motor region of the brain. Results of this study will be used for a larger-scale study in people with iSCI to improve balance and reduce falls during their daily life activities.

Shockwave Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury
West Orange, New Jersey
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience a host of secondary complications that can impact their quality of life and functional independence. One of the more prevalent complications is spasticity, which occurs in response to spinal cord damage and the resulting disruption of motor pathways. Common symptoms include spasms and stiffness, and can occur more than once per hour in many people with SCI. Spasticity can have a negative impact over many quality of life domains, including loss of functional independence, activity limitations, and even employment. Its impact on health domains is also pronounced, with many people who have spasticity reporting mood disorders, depression, pain, sleep disturbances, and contractures. Spasticity can interfere with post-injury rehabilitation and lead to hospitalization. There are many treatments for spasticity in this population. However, many do not have long-term efficacy, and, if they do, they are often pharmacological in nature and carry side effects that could limit function or affect health. The goal of this pilot, randomized-controlled study is to investigate the potential efficacy and safety of a non-invasive treatment with a low side effect profile, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). ESWT has shown some benefits in people with post-stroke spasticity with no long term side effects. Thirty individuals with chronic, traumatic SCI will be recruited. Fifteen will be provided with ESWT while the other fifteen will be given a sham treatment. Clinical and self-report measures of spasticity and its impact on quality of life will be collected, as well as quantitative ultrasound measures of muscle architecture and stiffness. The ultimate goal of this pilot project is to collect the data necessary to apply for a larger randomized-controlled trial. Conducting a larger trial will allow for a more powerful estimation of safety and efficacy of ESWT as a treatment for spasticity in people with SCI.

SVF Cell Therapy for Rotator Cuff Tears
New York, New York
Rotator cuff disease is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions across the world. Patients with chronic rotator cuff tears often have substantial muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration. Surgical repair of the tear does not reverse the atrophy, and many patients continue to experience weakness, pain, and a persistent reduction in the quality of life. An important limitation in our ability to successfully rehabilitate these injuries postoperatively and return patients to normal function has to do with the poor quality of the muscle and tendon after rotator cuff repair. The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of subcutaneous adipose tissue is highly enriched with cells (SVFCs) that can both directly participate in tissue regeneration by differentiating into myogenic and tenogenic cells, and indirectly by secreting growth factors and small molecules which activate pathways associated with healthy tissue regeneration. High numbers of autologous SVFCs can be isolated using the cost-effective, intraoperative Icellator (Tissue Genesis, Honolulu, HI) point-of-care system. This clinical trial will be determine if the use of SVFCs can enhance outcomes for patients who are undergoing surgical repair of a torn supraspinatus rotator cuff.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury
New York, New York
Spinal cord associative plasticity (SCAP) is a combined cortical and spinal electrical stimulation technique developed to induce recovery of arm and hand function in spinal cord injury.
The proposed study will advance understanding of SCAP, which is critical to its effective translation to human therapy. The purpose of the study is to:
1. Determine whether signaling through the spinal cord to the muscles can be strengthened by electrical stimulation.
2. Improve our understanding of the spinal cord and how it produces movement.
3. Determine whether spinal surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord can improve its function.
Aim 1 is designed to advance mechanistic understanding of spinal cord associative plasticity (SCAP).
Aim 2 will determine whether SCAP increases spinal cord excitability after the period of repetitive pairing. In rats, SCAP augments muscle activation for hours after just 5 minutes of paired stimuli.
Whereas Aims 1 and 2 focused on the effects of paired stimulation in the context of uninjured spinal cord, Aim 3 assesses whether paired stimulation can be effective across injured cord segments. Aim 3 will incorporate the experiments from Aim 1 and 2 but in people with SCI, either traumatic or pre-operative patients with myelopathy in non-invasive experiments, or targeting myelopathic segments in intraoperative segments.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Brain-Spinal Cord-Muscle Response Training for Spinal Cord Injury
Charleston, South Carolina
The study team is currently recruiting volunteers who are interested in participating in a brain-spinal cord-muscle response training study that aims to better understand the changes that take place in the nervous system as a result of this type of training. After spinal cord injury, brain-to-muscle connections are often interrupted. Because these connections are important in movement control, when they are not working well, movements may be disturbed. Researchers have found that people can learn to strengthen these connections through training. Strengthening these connections may be able to improve movement control and recovery after injuries.
Research participants will be asked to stand, sit, and walk during the study sessions. Electrodes are placed on the skin over leg muscles for monitoring muscle activity. For examining brain-to-muscle connections, the study team will use transcranial magnetic stimulation. The stimulation is applied over the head and will indirectly stimulate brain cells with little or no discomfort.
Participation in this study requires approximately three sessions per week for four months, followed by two to three sessions over another three months. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour.

Early Baclofen for Spinal Cord Injury
Montréal, Quebec
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate if early detection of spasticity and immediate treatment with oral baclofen during acute care prevents problematic spasticity and improves neurofunctional recovery after tSCI.
The main questions it aims to answer are :
1. Assess the safety of early baclofen treatment during acute care after SCI.
2. Compare the neurofunctional outcomes between the early baclofen group and the control group up to 6 months after tSCI, in terms of mobility, global functional independence, neurological recovery, pain and spasticity.
The early baclofen group will receive oral administration of baclofen as soon as any sign of acute spasticity is observed. The dose is started initially at 5 mg three times a day and is increased every 7 days by 5 mg per intake (up to a maximum 80 mg total per day) until achieving an optimal response, i.e. when spasticity is no longer problematic. The control group however will receive the "usual routine care" at our institution as per which baclofen is initiated by the attending physician (i.e. physiatrist or spine surgeon) only when acute spasticity becomes severe and problematic.

Electrical Neuromodulation for Spasticity
Jackson, Mississippi
Spasticity develops months after spinal cord injury (SCI) and persists over time. It presents as a mixture of tonic features, namely increased muscle tone (hypertonia) and phasic features, such as hyperactive reflexes (hyperreflexia), clonus, and involuntary muscle contractions (spasms). Spasticity is often disabling because it interferes with hygiene, transfers, and locomotion and can disturb sleep and cause pain. For these reasons, most individuals seek treatments for spasticity after SCI. New developments in electrical neuromodulation with transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) show promising results in managing spasticity non-pharmacologically. The underlying principle of TSS interventions is that the afferent input generated by posterior root stimulation modifies the excitability of the lumbosacral network to suppress pathophysiologic spinal motor output contributing to distinctive features of spasticity. However, the previous TSS studies used almost identical protocols in terms of stimulation frequency and intensity despite the great flexibility offered by this treatment strategy and the favorable results with the epidural stimulation at higher frequencies. Therefore, the proposed study takes a new direction to systematically investigate the standalone and comparative efficacy of four TSS interventions, including those used in previous studies.
Our central hypothesis is that electrical neuromodulation with the selected TSS protocols (frequency: 50/100 Hz; intensity: 0.45 or 0.9 times the sub-motor threshold) can reduce and distinctly modify tonic and phasic components of spasticity on short- and long-term basis. We will test our hypothesis using a prospective, experimental, cross-over, assessor-masked study design in 12 individuals with chronic SCI (more than 1-year post-injury).
Aim 1. Determine the time course of changes and immediate after-effects of each TSS protocol on tonic and phasic spasticity. The results will reveal the evolution of changes in spasticity during 30-min of TSS and the most effective protocol for producing immediate aftereffects.
Aim 2. Determine the effect of TSS on spasticity after a trial of home-based therapy with each protocol. The participants will administer 30 min of TSS daily for six days with each of the four TSS protocols selected randomly. This aim will reveal the long-term carry-over effects of TSS intervention on various components of spasticity after SCI.
Aim 3. Determine the participants' experience with TSS as a home-based therapy through focus group meetings. We will conduct focus group meetings after participants finish the home-based therapy trial. Accomplishing this specific aim will provide a valuable perspective on the value, challenges, and acceptability of TSS as a home-based intervention.
The study addresses important questions for advancing scientific knowledge and clinical management of spasticity after SCI. Specifically, it will examine the efficacy of TSS frequencies and intensities on tonic and phasic spasticity. The study results will be relevant for a high proportion of individuals living with SCI that could benefit from this novel and low-cost non-pharmacological approach to managing spasticity after SCI.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Muscle Injuries clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Muscle Injuries clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Muscle Injuries trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Muscle Injuries is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Muscle Injuries medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Muscle Injuries clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Vibrotactile Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury, Ankle Braces for Ankle Sprains and CPAP vs BiPAP for Sleep Apnea to the Power online platform.
