Neuromodulation and Fatigue Study
This study is testing if low-intensity electrical stimulation applied to your neck or chest can affect how tired your muscles get and how they work. We are looking for healthy individuals between 18 and 50 years old. You cannot join if you have metal implants, a joint replacement, neuromuscular disease, or very sensitive skin. The study will measure your muscle strength, how much effort you feel you are using, and how active your muscles are during each session to see if the electrical stimulation has an effect. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 40 healthy participants. It is double-blind, meaning neither you nor the researchers will know which type of stimulation you are receiving.
- What's involved
- You will have one familiarization session and up to six experimental sessions. Each test session will take about 2 hours.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Not specified.

What this trial measures
- ForceEach session will take approximately 2 hours (total of 4 test sessions)
Change in force will be evaluated with a device during each test session
- Perception of effortEach session will take approximately 2 hours (total of 4 test sessions)
Change in perceived effort will be evaluated with visual analogue scales
- Muscle activationEach session will take approximately 2 hours (total of 4 test sessions)
Electromyography will be used to quantify muscle activation
