Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Injury Risk Biomechanics

Study on brain stimulation and injury biomechanics. No treatment guaranteed.

Phase N/A

This study looks at how a technique called **repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation** (rTMS) affects how people move after they jump. rTMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain, like the **prefrontal cortex**, which helps with tasks like decision-making and behavior. The study compares people who have had a concussion with those who haven't to see if rTMS helps them land better after jumping. Participants will have two sessions at least 7 days apart. They will do jump tasks before and after receiving rTMS, and their tasks will involve both simple and more complex thinking challenges.

Key Points:

  • Each session lasts around a day, and there are two sessions total.
  • Participants must be physically active and aged 18-35.
  • Those with certain health conditions or metal implants cannot participate.

The study is **single-blinded**, meaning participants don't know if they are getting the real or placebo stimulation. It's important to self-report any past concussions or health issues before joining.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
