The aim of this project is to investigate the effects of riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, on preventing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in ultramarathon athletes through a randomized placebo-controlled study.
The purpose of the study is to investigate Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and its effect on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and recovery time. The hypothesis is that people with JHS will experience increased DOMS when compared to non-hypermobile people. The results this study may assist and add to the body of knowledge when treating and exercising patients with JHS, as considerations can possibly be made when treating this population. Subjects with JHS may experience greater DOMS and require more time to recover between treatment sessions.
Subjects over age 50 with no previous resistance training sessions will be recruited at a subacute rehabilitation and long term care facility. Subjects will be asked to perform a series of eccentric upper arm curl exercises under physician supervision in order to induce muscle soreness. Afterwards, topical oil containing a 2% dilution of either eucalyptus or peppermint oil in fractionated coconut oil will be applied to the flexor surface of the proximal non-dominent arm, and plain fractionated coconut oil to the other arm. This will be repeated at 8 hours and 24 hours after exercise. Subjects will be asked to report their perceived level of muscle soreness using a visual analog scale survey 24, 48, and 72 hours after exercise.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of K-285 compared with menthol gel for the treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in the lower extremity.
The acute study will evaluate pre- and post-exercise ingestion of a multi-ingredient supplement in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design. Participants will complete one enrollment visit, in which they will sign a consent form and complete a health history questionnaire. Participants will complete two interventions, with three visits each (6 visits total), in which a treatment beverage (pre/post supplement, or non-caloric placebo) will be consumed within 30 minutes prior to exercise and within 15 minutes post-exercise, in random order. Total time from enrollment to completion will be at least 14 days. Testing visits will be separated by a minimum of 7 days of rest to allow for recovery and washout, based on a half-life of ≤8 hours for all ingredients present in the supplement.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Kinesio tape on delayed onset muscle soreness of the biceps muscle of your arm following strenuous exercise of the bicep muscle.

The study will assess the sensitivity of the Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness Model by comparing the safety and efficacy of oral ibuprofen to placebo over 24 hours.
The objective of the study is to determine whether five days of ginger (Zingiber officinale) supplementation is effective at reducing muscle soreness and improving muscle function following downhill running. Long-distance running is often associated with acute muscle pain, swelling, and reduced muscle functioning, and consequently, many runners utilize non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). NSAID use is associated with gastrointestinal side-effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea, dyspepsia, asymptomatic ulcers, and symptomatic ulcers that, although rare, can be fatal. Ginger is a botanical compound that is Generally Recognized as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Evidence from osteoarthritis, dysmenorrhea, and resistance-training models indicate that ginger is effective at reducing general pain and muscle soreness. Therefore, this study will supplement 60 runners with roughly 1.5 g/day of ginger root or a placebo for 2 days prior to, the day of, and 2 days after downhill running. Participants will be evaluated for muscle soreness and function before and after the downhill run.
The purpose of this study is first to investigate the effect of a controlled intervention with a comedy video on pain tolerance in a social setting while quantitatively measuring laughter in a young healthy population experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness. The comedy intervention will be compared to a control of watching a documentary. The second aim is to examine to what extent various methods of eliciting pain would cause physiological responses that confound the interpretation of a pain stimulus.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design study in healthy subjects to determine the effects of a polyherbal supplement on the signs and symptoms of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by eccentric exercise of the arm.
The hypotheses to be tested are: Efficacy: Ibuprofen will be more effective than the Placebo in relieving muscle pain/soreness over 48 hour post-dosing with study medication. Safety: There will be no or minimal increased incidence of adverse events (AEs) with Ibuprofen versus and both will be well tolerated.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the application of ice, control group, or a muscle stimulation program from the Compex® series can help reduce or eliminate delayed muscle soreness from performing leg extension and flexion. Individuals will complete a health history questionnaire to determine if they qualify for this study. We will measure your leg girth with a measuring tape and take a pain measurement of your hamstrings by using a spring to press down on your leg. Individuals will then warm-up on a bike without resistance for 5 minutes followed by 10 regular leg extension and flexion exercises. Individuals will then perform 6 sets of 10 leg extension and flexion exercises on a biodex machine (similar to leg curl machines in the gym). Individuals will perform each set to the maximum effort of their capables. After each set of 10 individuals will have a 2 minute rest. We will ask you to rank your leg soreness on a scale from 1-10. Individuals will then be assigned to a modality of either ice, control group or compex. Individuals will perform the modality (ice, control, compex) we assign you to until you are no longer sore. Over the next five days individuals will return to measure their level of soreness, leg girth and pain pressure. This study will examine the following hypotheses: H1: There will be no difference in pressure pain threshold after using the Compex compared to other groups. H2: There will be no difference in perceived soreness after using the Compex compared to other groups. H3: There will be no difference in muscular strength after using the Compex compared to other groups. H4: There will be no difference in active range of motion after using the Compex compared to other groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a dietary supplement containing branched chain amino acids will reduce the muscle soreness that sometimes occurs in the days following exercise.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the 3 Branched Chained Amino Acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) on treating Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, a type of muscle pain which usually develops after exercising.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of fish oil supplementation (Lovaza, GlaxoSmithKline) on muscle strength, muscle soreness and inflammation following exercise.

This clinical trial evaluates how well tonation breathing techniques (use of a breathing and tonation \[creating sounds\]) works to ease pain joint and/or muscle pain in patients with stage I-III breast cancer and currently take an aromatase inhibitor. Tonation breathing techniques may help relieve pain in patients with stage I-III breast cancer who are receiving aromatase inhibitor.
RATIONALE: Learning about pain in patients with cancer receiving paclitaxel may help plan treatment and may help patients live more comfortably. Studying samples of urine from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to muscle and joint pain. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the role of biomarkers in muscle pain and joint pain in patients with solid tumors receiving paclitaxel.
Pelvic floor tension myalgia (PFTM) is increasingly noted in patients with chronic pelvic pain. Pelvic floor physical therapy is typically utilized and is at times combined with other therapies such as botox injections, trigger point injections or pudendal blocks. The investigators' study will randomize newly diagnosed patients with PFTM to weekly . Final patient assessment will be performed at 6 months to assess durability of response. Primary hypothesis: The addition of pudendal blocks to standard pelvic floor physical therapy will result in lower pain and pelvic floor muscle tension scores, lower baseline vaginal pressure and increase pelvic floor strength. Secondary hypothesis: The addition of pudendal blocks to standard pelvic floor physical therapy will result in a lower pain score in a shorter time frame, resulting in faster progress through physical therapy.
This phase II trial is studying vitamin D deficiency, muscle pain, joint pain, and joint stiffness in postmenopausal women receiving letrozole for stage I-III breast cancer. Learning about vitamin D deficiency and muscle pain, joint pain, and joint stiffness in patients receiving letrozole for breast cancer may help doctors plan treatment and may help patients live more comfortably
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of injections of Botox (botulinum toxin type A) for the treatment of chronic neck pain. Botox is an approved treatment for patients with cervical dystonia. Cervical dystonia is a chronic condition characterized by involuntary movements of the neck that are often painful. In this study, the response from Botox in patients with neck pain not associated with cervical dystonia will be compared to the pain response in patients with cervical dystonia.
