Healthy Clinical Trials in Pomona, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) enhances immune system readiness in healthy adults compared to exercise or sham light treatment. Specifically, the goal of this study is to assess circulating immune cells and signaling molecules in the blood in response to these various treatments. It aims to compare: Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and blood immune signaling molecule levels in healthy adults in response to OMT, sham light touch, and exercise, with measurements taken at multiple time points. Researchers will compare immune blood cells and signaling molecules in response to OMT versus sham light touch and exercise within the same group of healthy adults measured at three time points for each of the three total visits. Participants will do a 15-minute OMT session, a 15-minute light sham session, or a 15-minute exercise session at each of their three separate visits (they will do one of each over the course of their 3 appointments in random order). They will have three blood draws taken at each of those three visits. They will also fill out a Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) survey to assess their level of physical activity throughout the study. Read Less

The primary objective of this prospective study is to investigate the effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training compared to traditional low-weight resistance training on grip strength in young adults. Despite the growing interest in BFR training and its potential benefits, there is limited research specifically investigating its impact on grip strength. Understanding the effects of BFR training on grip strength could have significant implications for individuals seeking to optimize their grip performance, rehabilitation settings, and sports performance enhancement. Additionally, examining the safety and efficacy of BFR training for this specific outcome will contribute valuable insights to the scientific community. Read Less
